Atomic Absorption Single Element Standards

Atomic Absorption Single Element Standards are the stock solutions from which an AAS calibration series is prepared for one metal. Laboratories measuring individual elements in water, effluent, soil digests, foods and pharmaceutical samples keep a set covering their routine analytes.

This section lists 116 Reagecon single element standards for atomic absorption. Examples include aluminium at 1000 µg/mL (1000 ppm) in 0.5 M nitric acid and at 10,000 µg/mL (10,000 ppm) in 1 M nitric acid, and antimony at 1000 and 10,000 µg/mL in water, so most elements are offered at more than one concentration and in a matrix suited to the metal.

A 1000 ppm standard is the usual choice for everyday calibration, while 10,000 ppm suits laboratories preparing their own intermediate dilutions or matrix-matched standards. Check the matrix against your sample preparation before ordering. Lancetech Limited can quote any element from the range on request.
