Starna Scientific has released a reference cell microplate adaptor (RCMA) that enables laboratories to use existing Starna sealed-cell and filter reference materials in a horizontal format.
The RCMA allows the location of eight 'pairs' of read positions, and minimises the potential for bubble interference adversely impacting measurements.
The adaptor enables companies to extend their 'NIST traceable' and ISO 17025/ISO Guide 34-accredited Certified Reference Materials for use in a microplate format.
Starna said its device is ideal for quality assurance requirements in pharmaceutical and clinical research applications where new drug compounds and candidates are being screened using automated systems.
Regulatory control requires the formal qualification of these systems using appropriate Certified Reference Materials.
The RCMA offers researchers the ability to use existing reference values, and compare microplate reader data against measurements performed on a conventional spectrophotometer.
All the Starna Certified Reference Material range is produced in an ISO 17025 and ISO Guide 34 accredited environment.
The CRM range is calibrated in Starna Scientific's UKAS accredited laboratory.
