There appear to be crystals in my ampule, what should I do?
Sometimes precipitation or crystallization may appear in a product. This can occur with products that are close to saturation and have gotten cold. If this happens, the solution should be warmed to room temperature and then the sealed ampule should be sonicated for approximately fifteen minutes. Invert the ampule several times and allow the sample to return to room temperature. The standard is now ready for use. If the sealed product has crystals at the top of the outside of the ampule, it may indicate a pinhole break in the seal. In this case, please call AccuStandard Customer Service for assistance.
