Application


  • Comparison of essential and toxic elements in esophagus, lung, mouth and urinary bladder male cancer patients with related to controls.: The research utilized 65% nitric acid in the sample digestion process for the determination of trace elements in cancer patient tissues using atomic absorption spectrometry (Kazi et al., 2015).

  • Interaction between carcinogenic and anti-carcinogenic trace elements in the scalp hair samples of different types of Pakistani female cancer patients.: This study employed 65% nitric acid for the digestion of scalp hair samples, analyzing trace elements through atomic absorption spectrometry (Wadhwa et al., 2015).

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. Warum werden zu diesem Produkt Gehaltsangaben in % oder ppm gemacht, ohne den Bezug dieser Quotienten (Masse, Volumen, ...) anzugeben? IUPAC, ISO, BIPM raten von solchen Angaben ab. Warum nicht eindeutig als Massenanteil oder Massenkonzentration benennen?

    1 answer
    1. These content or product details are reported as such for practical purposes. All of the units reported for this product can be used directly in calculations related to product usage.

      For example, the nitric acid is 65% by assay of a 1 Liter bottle. It means that 650 mL equals nitric acid. The literature density of Nitric acid is 1.51g/mL. Thus the mass of nitric acid in that bottle is 1.51g/mL * 650mL = 981.5g
