Product Description
When precision matters, the Zirconium 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard from Avantor ensures reliable calibration for your ICP-MS instrumentation. Designed for researchers, students, and lab professionals, this high-purity solution delivers consistent results in trace metal analysis, environmental monitoring, and industrial quality control.
Zirconium standards are critical in geochemical studies, alloy testing, and nuclear research due to zirconium’s unique properties. This 1000 ppm concentration provides an optimal balance for both sensitivity and linearity in ICP-MS workflows. The solution is stabilized to prevent precipitation and degradation, ensuring long-term accuracy in your experiments.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of traceability and reproducibility in analytical chemistry. That’s why we source this standard from Avantor, a trusted name in lab supplies, to guarantee compliance with international quality benchmarks. Whether you’re calibrating instruments for academic research or industrial compliance, this zirconium standard meets the rigorous demands of modern laboratories.

Key Applications
This zirconium single-element standard is ideal for:
- ICP-MS and ICP-OES calibration curves
- Environmental sample analysis (soil, water, sediments)
- Alloy composition verification in metallurgy
- Nuclear fuel research and zirconium alloy testing
- Educational labs teaching atomic spectroscopy
Why This Standard Stands Out
The 1000 ppm concentration offers versatility for both high-sensitivity and routine analyses. Unlike multi-element standards, this single-element solution eliminates cross-contamination risks, making it perfect for labs requiring isolated zirconium measurements. The ICP-ML grade ensures minimal matrix interference, while the 100 ml pack size provides sufficient volume for repeated calibrations without frequent reorders.
For labs in India, eqipped simplifies procurement with authentic Avantor products, eliminating concerns about counterfeit or diluted standards. Each batch comes with a certificate of analysis, confirming the exact zirconium concentration and purity levels.
Safety and Handling
While zirconium is relatively low in toxicity, this solution contains nitric acid as a stabilizer. Always handle with standard lab safety protocols:
- Wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles
- Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood
- Store at controlled room temperature (15–25°C)
- Avoid contact with skin or eyes; rinse immediately if exposure occurs
FAQs
What is the shelf life of this zirconium standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature, this standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
Can I use this for ICP-OES instead of ICP-MS?
Yes, this 1000 ppm zirconium standard is compatible with both ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments. However, you may need to dilute it further for ICP-OES depending on your detection limits.
Is this standard traceable to NIST or other reference materials?
Yes, Avantor’s zirconium standards are traceable to NIST SRMs or equivalent primary reference materials, ensuring metrological reliability for your lab’s quality systems.
Do I need to prepare a blank solution with this standard?
For accurate calibration, we recommend preparing a blank using the same matrix (typically 2% nitric acid) to account for background interference in your ICP-MS readings.
How should I dispose of unused zirconium standard solution?
Follow your institution’s chemical waste disposal protocols. Neutralize with a base (e.g., sodium bicarbonate) before disposal, and never pour down drains or mix with other lab waste.
