ICP Multi Element Verification Standards

ICP Multi Element Verification Standards are run after calibration to confirm that an ICP-OES or ICP-MS calibration is reading correctly before samples are analysed. Laboratories whose quality systems call for independent calibration checks include a verification standard in every batch.

One Reagecon product is listed here: a 24 element ICP and ICP-MS multi element standard in 2-5% nitric acid. The wide element coverage means a single solution can verify most of a typical environmental or water reporting list in one measurement.

For the check to be meaningful, the verification standard should come from a different lot or preparation than the calibration standards, and it should be diluted to sit within the calibrated range. Calibration standards and single element standards are in the neighbouring sections. Lancetech Limited can quote this verification standard on request.
