Product Overview
This 1000 ppm Ruthenium single-element standard is meticulously formulated for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) applications, delivering exceptional purity and consistency for critical analytical workflows. The solution is prepared in a high-purity acid matrix to ensure long-term stability and minimize matrix interferences, making it ideal for demanding trace metal analysis requirements. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to verify concentration accuracy within ±1% tolerance, with certification traceable to NIST standards. The aqueous formulation eliminates particulate contamination risks while maintaining optimal nebulization efficiency in ICP instrumentation. Packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, this standard solution resists leaching and contamination during storage. The 100 ml pack size offers an optimal balance between cost efficiency and laboratory convenience, reducing frequent replenishment needs while maintaining freshness. Compatible with most ICP-MS and ICP-OES systems, this ruthenium standard enables reliable calibration curves and quality control checks across diverse sample matrices. The solution’s extended shelf life of 24 months when stored properly ensures consistent performance throughout its usable life.
FAQs
1. What is the matrix composition of this ruthenium standard solution?
This standard is prepared in a 2-5% nitric acid matrix, which provides optimal stability for ruthenium while being compatible with most ICP-MS systems. The exact acid concentration is specified in the certificate of analysis included with each batch.
2. Can this standard be used for ICP-OES applications?
While primarily designed for ICP-MS, this 1000 ppm ruthenium standard can be used for ICP-OES applications with appropriate dilution. The higher concentration allows for flexible preparation of working standards across both techniques.
3. What is the recommended storage temperature for this solution?
For optimal stability, store the unopened bottle at 15-25°C in its original packaging. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or temperature fluctuations. Once opened, maintain tight closure when not in use.
4. How does the packaging prevent contamination?
The solution comes in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals and leak-proof caps. The bottle material is specifically chosen for its low metal leaching properties to maintain solution integrity throughout its shelf life.
5. What documentation is provided with each batch?
Every bottle includes a comprehensive certificate of analysis detailing the exact concentration, batch number, expiration date, and quality control test results. The certificate also provides traceability information to NIST reference materials.
