Product Overview
This Specpure® Vanadium plasma standard solution delivers 1000µg/ml concentration in a nitric acid matrix, engineered for uncompromising accuracy in plasma-based analytical techniques. The ultra-high purity grade ensures minimal interference from trace contaminants, making it ideal for calibration curves in ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and AAS applications where precision is critical. Each batch undergoes rigorous multi-element analysis to guarantee consistency, with certification documentation provided for full traceability. The solution’s stability is optimized for long-term storage without precipitation or concentration shifts, eliminating the need for frequent recalibration. Packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, it resists leaching and external contamination, preserving integrity from first use to final drop. The nitric acid base (typically 2-5%) maintains solubility while preventing microbial growth, ensuring reliable performance across diverse lab environments. Compatible with most autosamplers and dilution systems, this standard integrates seamlessly into automated workflows without requiring additional pretreatment. For labs demanding NIST-traceable references, this Specpure® solution meets ISO 17025 and GLP compliance standards, providing defensible data for research, quality control, and regulatory testing.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Vanadium plasma standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at 15-25°C. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy, though stability may extend further if handled under inert conditions.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications?
Yes, the Specpure® grade is specifically formulated for compatibility with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments. The ultra-low impurity profile minimizes spectral interferences, while the 1000µg/ml concentration allows flexible dilution for either technique’s dynamic range.
3. What material are the bottles made of, and are they autoclavable?
The bottles are constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is resistant to nitric acid corrosion. While not autoclavable, they are manufactured in a Class 100 cleanroom and gamma-irradiated to ensure sterility for most lab applications.
4. Is this solution compatible with organic solvents for sample preparation?
This aqueous standard is not designed for direct mixing with organic solvents. For organic-phase analysis, we recommend evaporating an aliquot to dryness and reconstituting in your solvent of choice, or using a dedicated organometallic standard.
5. How does the nitric acid concentration affect instrument performance?
The nitric acid matrix (typically 2-5%) is optimized to balance solubility and instrument compatibility. Most ICP systems tolerate this concentration without plasma instability, but we advise verifying your instrument’s acid introduction limits—some may require dilution for prolonged use.
