Product Overview

This Zinc 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is meticulously formulated for high-precision trace metal analysis in laboratory settings. Prepared using ultra-pure reagents and deionized water, it ensures minimal interference and maximum accuracy in ICP-MS applications. The standard is traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) reference materials, guaranteeing reliability for calibration, method validation, and quality control processes. Its stable matrix composition prevents precipitation or degradation over time, making it ideal for long-term use. The 10 ppm concentration provides an optimal balance between sensitivity and linearity, reducing the need for multiple dilutions. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles, it resists contamination and chemical leaching, preserving integrity during storage and handling. Whether used in environmental testing, pharmaceutical analysis, or material science, this standard delivers consistent performance, minimizing variability in analytical results.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of this Zinc ICP-ML standard?

When stored unopened at room temperature (15–25°C) and protected from light, this standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiration date on the label.

2. Is this standard compatible with ICP-OES instruments?

While optimized for ICP-MS, this 10 ppm Zinc standard can also be used with ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry) after appropriate dilution to match the instrument’s linear range and sensitivity requirements.

3. Are there alternatives available for higher or lower concentrations?

Yes, alternatives are available in concentrations ranging from 1 ppm to 1000 ppm. For custom concentrations or multi-element standards, contact our technical support team for assistance.

4. How should I store this standard to maintain accuracy?

Store the unopened bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After opening, tightly recap the bottle and avoid prolonged exposure to air to prevent contamination or evaporation.

5. Does this standard require any special handling precautions?

While non-hazardous, standard lab safety practices should be followed. Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles) when handling, and avoid skin or eye contact. In case of spillage, rinse with plenty of water.
