Thermo Scientific Pierce Calibration Solutions for mass spectrometry are ready-to-use liquid formulations that can quickly calibrate Thermo Scientific LC-MS instrumentation. These mixtures are composed of highly purified, ionizable molecules or polymers specifically designed for positive or negative calibration of Thermo Scientific ion trap, orbitrap and triple quadrupole instruments. The calibration solutions are manufactured at an ISO 9001 facility and each lot is quality controlled with strict specifications. The stable solutions are provided in a leak-proof, high-purity PTFE bottle.

  • Strong peaks—mixture of instrument-optimized components in a mass spec compatible solvent  solution
  • Ready to use—load calibration solution into a syringe and inject into the instrument
  • High-purity—mass spectrometry-grade reagents in a non-leachable container
  • Stable—store at room temperature or refrigerator for more than one year
  • Validated—all calibration solutions have been fully tested using Thermo Scientific Mass Spectrometers
