General Spectroscopy - Wavelength, tuning, and calibration standards for ICP-OES

 
I was looking at your catalog for standards for ICP-OES and I will like to know what is the difference between: Wavelength Calibration Standard (IV-STOCK-5), ICP Calibration Standard (IV-STOCK-4) and Tuning Solution (IV-STOCK-24). I know they are different concentrations and elements but I will like to know if it is possible to use just one of them for all 3 things, wavelength, tuning and calibration. We have a Thermo ICP and I noticed that the vendor used the "tuning" solution as the "calibration standard" as well. Thanks!

It is appropriate and certainly simpler to use a single solution for multiple optimization parameters such as tuning, calibration, etc. As long as the solution being used contains all the elements recommended by the manufacturer at appropriate concentrations, and the wavelengths monitored are free from interferences or spectral anomalies, there should be no major concerns following this approach.
