Due to the wide variety of analyte and matrix combinations available, many CRMs fall into at least one hazard group, classing them as 'Dangerous Goods' meaning they must be handled, packed and shipped in specific ways.
Cyanide is a complex chemical that exists in various states throughout nature, encompassing a wide range of substances containing carbon-nitrogen bonds.
It has been made infamous by crime novels and war movies as a rapid and deadly poison.
PFAS, the ‘forever chemicals’, are a group of over 9,000 different chemicals, some of which are already banned or highly restricted.
Their widespread use has resulted in adverse effects on the environment and human health.
When trying to remove washout issues with ICP standards, it is vital to ensure that all parts of the sample introduction system are clean. Some elements are more challenging to remove through standard cleaning processes and may require that parts are soaked in cleaning solution or even replaced more frequently. One specific part that can be easy to overlook is PVC Peristaltic Pump Tubing.
The most common heavy metals found in baby food are inorganic arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury, which are in the World Health Organisation's top 10 chemicals of concern for infants and children.
PH buffers are solutions which prevent large variations in pH levels. Every pH level produced has a specified buffer capacity and buffer range. The capacity of the buffer refers to the amount of acid or base which can be added before the pH alters substantially.
Tired of the limitations associated with purchasing standard reference materials through stock catalogs?
Custom single and multi-element certified reference materials (CRMs) from Inorganic Ventures represent an easier, cost-effective and faster way to secure the right analytical standard reference material for your specific use.
Spectroscopic applications typically require excellent accuracy and precision to ensure the ongoing validity of results. Today’s analytical ICP instruments are extremely well designed and can produce quality data for over a decade if the instrument is well maintained.
