Product Overview

This 10 ppm Zirconium ICP-ML single-element standard delivers unmatched precision for trace metal analysis in advanced laboratory settings. Formulated with ultra-high purity reagents, this liquid standard ensures minimal matrix interference and maximum stability, providing consistent results across ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications. The solution undergoes rigorous quality control, including multi-point calibration verification, to guarantee accuracy within ±1% of the certified concentration. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with tamper-evident seals, it maintains integrity during storage and transportation. The low acidity matrix (2% HNO₃) prevents precipitation while extending shelf life. Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis with traceable lot numbers, NIST-compatible reference values, and method validation data. The standard’s compatibility with most ICP instrumentation eliminates the need for time-consuming dilutions or matrix matching. Its single-element formulation allows for targeted calibration without cross-contamination risks associated with multi-element standards. The 10 ppm concentration provides optimal sensitivity for both routine quality control and research-grade applications requiring detection limits in the ppb range.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of this Zirconium ICP standard when stored properly?

When stored at room temperature in its original sealed container, this standard maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Exposure to direct sunlight or temperature fluctuations above 30°C may reduce stability.

2. Can this standard be used directly for ICP-MS analysis without further dilution?

The 10 ppm concentration is suitable for most ICP-OES applications but typically requires dilution to 1-100 ppb range for ICP-MS analysis. Always verify against your instrument’s linear range and detection limits before use.

3. What materials are used in the packaging to prevent contamination?

The solution comes in Class A HDPE bottles with PTFE-lined caps, both tested for metal leaching. The manufacturing process includes triple acid washing of all containers to ensure <1 ppt background contamination levels.

4. How does this standard compare to multi-element standards for Zirconium analysis?

Single-element standards eliminate potential interferences from other metals present in multi-element solutions. This standard offers superior accuracy for Zirconium-specific applications where matrix effects from other elements could compromise results.

5. What documentation is provided with each batch of this standard?

Every shipment includes a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis detailing the certified concentration, uncertainty values, preparation method, expiry date, and storage instructions. Additional QC data is available upon request.
