BrandTech Scientific 888-522-2726 www.brandtech.comPFA Trace Analysis LabwareVITLAB® PFA Labware:Pure, Cleanable, Rugged.VITLAB® trace analysis labware from BrandTech Scientific is manufactured from PFA (a perfluoroalkoxy copolymer), which is highly resistant to heat and chemical contamination and has surface properties that greatly simplify cleaning. Use this labware for excellent results in ICP-MS, production and storage of trace analysis standards, isotope separations, sample digestions and more.With the increasing need in trace analysis labs for ultra-low concentration determinations in the ng/g (ppb) and pg/g (ppt) range, the use of PFA labware has become more and more important. Other materials, when not specially treated, may be subject to interaction between the vessel and the sample, standards or reagents it contains. This may cause incorrect results with modern trace analysis instrumentation.All BrandTech VITLAB® PFA trace analysis labware features visible, accurate, and permanent graduations for precise measuring. PFA Labware is suitable for sterilization using heat, gas, and chemical methods for handling sensitive biological solutions. BrandTech also offers corrosion-resistant PFA (Technical Grade) with small amounts of pre-consumer high-quality recycled PFA, for customers who need only the chemical resistance of PFA. See page 113.Excellent Temperature Stability: BrandTech’s VITLAB® PFA trace analysis labware maintains its stability in temperatures from -200ºC to 250ºC (-328ºF to 482ºF).No Leachable Metals: PFA is manufactured without metals such as calcium, aluminum, iron, magnesium, nickel, copper, manganese or zinc. These metals can leach into samples from other containers, and contaminate samples.Simplified Cleaning: Conventional labware for trace analysis requires time-consuming and expensive cleaning. The hydrophobic and anti-adhesive properties of the exceptionally smooth-surfaced PFA labware simplify the cleaning process, making it ideal for trace analysis.Superior Chemical Resistance: PFA is inert with most reagents, including the nitric and hydrochloric acid routinely used in cleaning trace analysis labware. This stability significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination.Excellent Long-Term Stability: PFA containers often extend the stability of low (ppb) concentration standards. Such stability reduces the time and cost of renewing trace analysis standard solutions. Highly Translucent: Translucency is important for making accurate measurements using volumetric labware. P r o p e r t i e sScanning electron microscopy illustrates the advantages of PFA in trace analysis. (Magnification: 8000X)Bottle – HDPEScanning electron microscopy of this bottle wall shows the roughness of HDPE. The increased surface area of HDPE can lead to carryover of reagent molecules.Beaker – PTFESimilar to HDPE, electron micrographs of this beaker reveal a typically rough surface that can interact with reagent molecules and complicate cleaning.Evaporating dish – PFAEven at 8000x magnification, the surfaces of this PFA evaporating dish are very smooth. It is this smoothness, combined with PFA’s hydrophobic, anti-adhesive and inert properties, that simplify cleaning.
