Inorganic Trace Analysis

Sensitive trace analysis applications (AAS, ICP-AES, polarography, ion chromatography, etc.) require extremely pure sample preparation reagents to assure low blank values. Digestion reagents cannot contain metal ions or other impurities. Further, complete decomposition of the sample is required in order to achieve reproducible and accurate elemental results by analytical instrumental methods.

Fluka’s portfolio of high-purity and ultra-high purity reagents and solvents for contamination-free sample preparation includes the TraceSELECT^® and TraceSELECT^® Ultra lines of acids, bases, salts and solvents.

• Ultra High Purity Reagents (TraceSELECT Ultra)
• High Purity Acids for Trace Analysis (TraceSELECT)
• High Purity Bases for Trace Analysis (TraceSELECT)
• High Purity Reagents for Trace Analysis
• High Purity Salts for Trace Analysis
• Solvents for Metal Speciation Analysis

High quality analytical reference standards for reproducible, traceable measurements include:

• TraceCERT^® certified reference materials for ICP, AAS and IC
• AAS Reference Materials
• ICP-OES/-MS Reference Materials
• Ion Chromatography CRMs
• Proficiency Testing Studies by Sigma-Aldrich RTC

Organic Residue Analysis

Organic residue testing entails the analysis of persistent organic pollutants, and highly toxic compounds, down to ultratrace levels in food and environmental applications.  Most of the organic pollutants identified in environmental analysis are extracted using solvents, from matrices such as food, water or soil. The high purity solvents, additives and standards provided by Fluka ensure low detection levels and reproducible results for sample preparation; as well as, for separation and analysis of organic contaminants in biologicals, soil, sludge, water, and air matrices. In food and environmental applications, the focus is on substances such as dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and pesticides.

High-purity Solvents & Standards for sample preparation and analysis of trace levels of organic pollutants:

• Solvents for Organic Residue Analysis
• TraceCERT Organic Certified Reference Materials
• Food Residue Analysis Standards
• Standards for Environmental Applications
• Environmental Matrix CRMs
• Pesticides & Metabolites
• GMO Reference Materials, Qualitative
• Mycotoxin Standards
• Proficiency Testing Studies by Sigma-Aldrich RTC
