Elements in Oil/Spectroscopy Products
CONOSTAN® Division is the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of Elements in Oil standards and related spectroscopy products. CONOSTAN®'s industry leading position is derived from superior product chemistry, manufacturing technology, and blending techniques. CONOSTAN® products are used extensively in the calibration and operation of analytical instruments for the analysis of elements in oil and other organic fluids. CONOSTAN® is the only source of metallo-organic standards in the history of the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST). Click here to see a history of CONOSTAN® and NIST. The variety of products afford convenience as reference and routine analytical materials for AA, ICP, DCP, XRF, Rotrode, and other analytical techniques. CONOSTAN® products are optimized for:
- Compatability- 38 elements can be combined over an extensive concentration range
- Solubility- CONOSTAN® element standards are soluble in CONOSTAN® PremiSolv™ ICP solvent, Conostan base oils, Ketones, such as 4-methyl-2-pentanone (MIBK), as well as in paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as mineral oil, xylene, and Kerosene.
- Volatility- CONOSTAN® element standards are made in ultra-pure, highly processed hydrocarbon oil only; no solubilizers are used. Volatile loss depends on the volatility of the hydrocarbon oil and is typically 0.07% in one hour at 120°C and 75mm Hg pressure.
- Viscosity- Viscosity range at room temperature is ideal for instrumental applications.
- Instrumental Response- Excellent analytical response over a wide range of analytical applications.
- Shelf Life- All CONOSTAN® element standards and spectroscopy products have a one year minimum shelf life (D-Series® D-12 and D-3 blended standards have a 30 month shelf life) from the date of shipment.
