In this episode of our Back-to-Basics series, we explore solution stability — why metals sometimes fall out of solution and how to prevent it. Joined by Support Chemist Ashley Jones and Stock Production Manager Thomas Kozikowski, Mike breaks down the chemistry behind hydrolysis, charge density, and how acid strength and complexing agents like chloride and fluoride can stabilize your standards. The team also revisits Le Chatelier’s Principle, showing how equilibrium shifts can be used to keep metals dissolved and prevent unwanted precipitates.

Whether you’re troubleshooting cloudy standards or refining your solution prep techniques, this episode offers practical chemistry insights you can apply directly in the lab.
