Product Overview

This Yttrium 1000 ppm ICP single-element standard delivers exceptional purity and stability for demanding analytical applications. Formulated in a high-purity nitric acid matrix, it ensures minimal interference and maximum accuracy in inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy. The standard is prepared using ultra-high-purity Yttrium (99.999% min) and undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee consistent performance. Its 2-5% HNO₃ matrix provides long-term stability while preventing precipitation or adsorption losses. The solution is filtered through 0.22 µm membranes to eliminate particulate contamination, making it suitable for even the most sensitive ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive certificate of analysis detailing the exact concentration, traceability to NIST standards, and expiration date. The amber glass bottle with PTFE-lined cap ensures sample integrity during storage and handling.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of this Yttrium ICP standard?

The standard maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.

2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES?

Yes, the 1000 ppm concentration is suitable for both techniques, though dilution may be required for ICP-MS applications depending on your instrument’s linear range.

3. What is the typical detection limit when using this standard?

With proper instrument calibration, this standard can help achieve detection limits as low as 0.1 ppb for Yttrium in most ICP-MS systems.

4. How should I prepare dilutions from this 1000 ppm standard?

Use ultra-pure water (18.2 MΩ·cm) and trace metal-grade acids for dilutions. Follow standard serial dilution protocols using Class A volumetric glassware for accuracy.

5. What safety precautions should I take when handling this standard?

Wear appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles. Work in a fume hood due to the nitric acid content, and follow standard laboratory safety protocols for handling acidic solutions.
