Tungsten is mined from the ore scheelite and wolframite. The main application of tungsten is the production of filaments for halogen lamps. It is also used in the production of alloys and hard materials like tungsten carbide. It also has application in the chemical industry as a catalyst and scintillation detector. Due to its high melting point, it is used in the electronics industry in cathode ray tubes.

This product is meant to be used as a standard solution for Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is an analysis technique which uses plasma to atomize samples. It is used in the analysis of metal species in samples. In biological research, it is used in the quantification of proteins and biomolecules. It can also be used for the identification of elements.
