/in /by

Are you tired of struggling with sticky elements and finding it difficult to clean your ICP between samples? The flushing method you use can cause memory effects, leaving you scratching your head and questioning your results when elements such as mercury, gold, boron, silicon and osmium stick.

We have the perfect solution to ease your difficulties. True Rinse is sold in 1L bottles.

Order number: ICP-TRUE-RINSE-1L

How ICP TRUE RINSE helps rinse out

  • Tackles the most stubborn elements
    This ICP wash solution is the result of years of rigorous testing and certification of certified reference materials. It is tailored to tackle even the most sticky elements, such as Hg, Au, B and Os, ensuring accurate testing.
  • Works fast, saves time and hassle
    ICP-TRUE-RINSE provides fast, efficient and consistent cleaning between samples, saving you time and hassle. It reduces the volume and rinse time between samples, as well as the number of blank samples.
  • Ready to use
    ICP-TRUE-RINSE is made with the purest starting materials and comes ready to use with all accompanying documentation.
  • Ensures Good Laboratory Practice.
    Most laboratories use HCl or HNO3 rinses. ICP-TRUE-RINSE takes your washing procedure one step further by introducing Thiourea to mobilize sticky elements.
  • Guaranteed shelf life of five years with TCT
    Transpiration Control Technology (TCT) guarantees the shelf life of the product for five years after the production date.
  • Currently available in 1L
    ICP-TRUE-RINSE is competitively priced.

Read what a customer thinks of ICP-TRUE-RINSE:

“I love the Rinse Solution. I must admit I was skeptical at first, but it really makes a difference! I was able to significantly reduce both my volume and rinse time between samples. One thing that I am pleased with and didn’t really expect is that the solution doesn’t seem to slowly pick up background metals like my HCl rinse would. I often had to replace the HCl rinse solution before I got through all 250 ml of volume because it slowly builds up background. This rinse solution not only did not do that, but continued to work very well after I refilled it halfway through the bottle with DI water.

For this, I rinsed for 30 seconds with HCl at a pump speed of 0.5 rpm. With your solution, I can rinse for 10 seconds at my normal pumping speed of 0.1 rpm and still get good cleaning between samples. This was most evident with my blank method. My normal process is to take 3 blank samples after the highest standards, then the blank method for the samples. I was able to reduce that to just 1 blank sample and basically eliminated the Hg carryover that I was trying to avoid with those extra blanks.’

Inorganic Ventures makes packaging more sustainable

/in /by

A step towards sustainability: IV changes packaging!

Did you know that Inorganic Ventures packed nearly 150,000 bottles by 2022? As part of their commitment to continuous improvement, we have introduced a new process to increase efficiency and be more environmentally conscious.
From 1 September 2023, bottles will no longer be sealed with plastic thermal tape on each cap.

In the past, adding thermally sealed seals was a good way to prove adulteration, but since the introduction of Transpiration Control Technology (TCT) many years ago, this process has become redundant.

The heat-resistant tape does not add any additional protection to the solution. The caps are tightened with an ISO 17025-calibrated torque spanner that ensures the solution is completely sealed and leak-proof during transport. TCT adds an extra layer of protection and thus manipulation prevention.

Remember, the best thing about TCT is that CRMs retain their scientific integrity for up to five years after the production date. The product may be stored in the TCT bag for up to four years and then for up to one year after the product is removed from the packaging.

This change will be applied to all lots manufactured after 1 September 2023. Rest assured, this change will not affect the integrity or quality of our products. As always, IV’s products come with a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact our team.
