Reliable Measurements

chemistbig

By Paul Gaines, Ph.D.
Edited by Brian Brolin, John Fiorino, & Marge Gwynne

More than ever before, people are making decisions based on chemical measurements that affect us medically, environmentally, legally, and commercially. The reliability of these measurements is becoming a critical matter.

Dr. Paul Gaines presents an essential guide for trace analysts at any level of experience. Topics cover all phases of sample collection, preparation, measurement, and data analysis.

NOTE: All references to trace analysis assume the use of either ICP-OES or ICP-MS for the purposes of this guide.

Multi-Element Blends

Choose from over 70 elements at variable concentrations and we'll create the perfect multi-element standard for your application.

The Problem:
No two laboratories have...
the same samples
the same matrices
the same personnel
the same instruments

The Solution:
Custom multi-element blends...
in your matrices
at your required concentrations
will save you time

Multi-Ion Blends

Custom-blended multi-ion standards reduce the number of standards, pipets, calculations, aliquots, and dilutions.

Ion Chromatography multi-ion standards are made from concentrates that have been through a rigorous Quality Assurance process.

Each aliquot is added volumetrically to the blend using calibrated pipets.
The actual weight of each aliquot is recorded as a double check.
All multi-ion standards are traceable to NIST (except NO2-).

Specialty Blends

You specify everything from the parameters and concentrations to the matrix. Special projects can include...

Trace Metals spiked onto your substrate (i.e. - filter discs, non-porous surfaces, etc.)
Any material that you would like certified for one or more parameters
Any number of QC analytes, custom-blended to your specifications.
And much, much more.

Instrument Optimization / Setup Standards

Manufacturers of ICP-MS, ICP-OES, DCP, and AA instrumentation rely on precise instrument calibration and setup standards. Most manufacturers supply instrument calibration software with their instruments. These programs require specific multi-element standards.

Custom setup standards for:

AA test
Abundance sensitivity
Detection Limit
ICP test
Mass calibration
Plasma setup
System standard
Wavelength calibration (VIS and UV WAVCAL)

When clicked, each elemental symbol will open an Elemental Profile in a separate window revealing additional details about the element.

II. An element's name, atomic weight, and oxidation state(s) will appear in the Information Window when you scroll over an element's symbol (allow 1-2 seconds load time).

A. Oxidation states in italics are those that are most common.
B. Oxidation states in blue refer specifically to elements manufactured by Inorganic Ventures.

III. A red x indicates the element IS NOT commercially available for analytical work. Limited statistics are provided.

IV. A blue i indicates that the corresponding ion IS commercially available for analytical work. Limited statistics are provided.

ISO Simplified

We've entered an age when quality has become imperative in the arena of high tech industry. The International Standard Organization (ISO) has provided a level playing field for all manufacturers to officially state the quality of their products and business practices. ISO 9001:2000, ISO 17025:1999, and ISO Guide 34:2000 are the three most valuable certifications for standard manufacturers. What do these credentials really mean?

Expirations Facts You Should Know

Expiration dating has fallen prey to the most recent set of marketing gimmicks used to mislead the customer. Questionable methods are used to spark business opportunities for self-serving standards manufacturers who conceal the reality of their products' expiration dates behind a shroud of confusing terms.

Shelf Life Vs Expiration Date

The Facts FACT - Chemical stability does NOT mean expiration date. FACT - Shelf Life does NOT mean expiration date. FACT - A product's expiration date and shelf life are two entirely different entities. Chemical stability is only one of many factors involved in defining expiration date and shelf life. This article provides you, the consumer, with the best definitions for shelf life and expiration date. This information will help you make the correct decisions when other suppliers throw misleading comments into the mix. The integrity of an aqueous trace metals standard is dependent upon: 1. The chemical stability of the standard. 2. Transpiration losses of the standard. 3. The "human factor" while using the standard. The shelf life of aqueous trace metals standards is dependent upon numbers 1 and 2 above. Shelf Life is the amount of time that a properly packaged and stored standard will last without undergoing chemical or physical changes, remaining within the specified uncertainty. A change greater than that uncertainty (±0.5% relative for our standards) means the standard has gone over (passed) its shelf life. IV manufactures single-element standards to be chemically stable indefinitely. Our chemists have been checking and testing standards for almost 20 years. IV can state with certainty that there are no chemical stability problems that have not been solved. Number 1 above has been eliminated in our facility.
