Ultrapure water suitable for the most stringent trace elemental analyses.
Technological advances in sensitive analytical techniques, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GF-AAS) and trace ion chromatography (IC), allow us to detect and measure elements at ppt and sub-ppt levels. These trace and ultra-trace detection levels are key for sensitive applications in such diverse fields as environmental testing, pharmaceutical analyses, forensic science, and the food and beverage industry.
Low detection levels mean that special care must be taken to avoid trace contamination, which can impact experimental results. Contaminants may arise from the reagents, instrumentation, operators, lab environment and any sample containers used.
This is equally true for ultrapure water used in analytical process. Due to the dissolution and dilution processes required in sample preparation, high purity water typically constitutes over 90% of a sample analysed by these sensitive techniques. High purity water is also used for cleaning sample containers, washing plastics and preparing blanks and standard solutions.
Bestellinformation: The consumable kit is necessary to order with Milli-Q® IQ Element. Kit is needed to get the system to operate as the System-POD connector. For trace element specifications or more information, see datasheet, 'Ultrapure water tailored for trace elemental analyses'.
