Product Overview
This 1000 mg/L trimethylamine ion chromatography standard is a high-purity aqueous solution specifically formulated for precise analytical applications. Trimethylamine, a tertiary amine with a strong fishy odor, is commonly used as a calibration standard in ion chromatography due to its well-defined retention behavior and consistent response. The solution is prepared in ultrapure water to minimize matrix interferences, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in trace-level analysis. The concentration of 1000 mg/L provides an optimal balance between sensitivity and linearity, making it suitable for both routine calibration and method development. This standard is ideal for laboratories requiring accurate quantification of trimethylamine in environmental, food, or industrial samples. The solution is stable under recommended storage conditions, maintaining its integrity over extended periods. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure compliance with analytical standards, providing confidence in your chromatographic measurements.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this trimethylamine standard?
The shelf life is typically 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at 2-8°C. Always check the label for the exact expiry date.
2. Can this standard be used for HPLC applications?
This solution is specifically formulated for ion chromatography. While it may work in some HPLC applications, it is not optimized for reversed-phase or normal-phase HPLC.
3. Is this standard compatible with all ion chromatography columns?
It is compatible with most anion-exchange columns used for amine analysis. However, column performance may vary based on manufacturer specifications.
4. What is the recommended storage condition for this standard?
Store the unopened vial at 2-8°C, protected from light. Once opened, use within 30 days or as per your lab’s validation protocol.
5. Are there any safety precautions for handling this standard?
Trimethylamine has a strong odor and can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Always handle in a fume hood with appropriate PPE.
