LGC Standards has updated its reference materials catalogue, which now lists 14,500 products that support analytical testing, measurement and quality control for products across a range of industries.
These include the food, environmental and industrial sectors.
The 'Analytical Reference Materials, Standards and High-Purity Solvents 2011/2012' catalogue supports laboratory quality by providing a resource that contains materials for a range of applications, ensuring users have all products of interest in one place.
Reference materials are important in ensuring the reliability of analytical measurements and so ensuring that decisions are based on sound data.
The catalogue provides a fully updated listing of all relevant reference materials, standards and solvents.
New products include: Ultragold Inorganic standards produced under ISO Guide 34; high-purity inorganic compounds; Ultra QuECh standards for the QuEChERS method; mycotoxins and ergot alkaloids; labelled toxaphene standards; isotope labelled compounds from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (pesticides, PCBs, sex and steroidal hormone standards, veterinary and human antibiotics, priority pollutant standards, POPs); standards for USP 467; veterinary medicine and pharmaceutical standards; ERM (European Reference Materials); reference materials from the National Research Centre for Certified Reference Materials, China (NIM); reference nanomaterials; GMO reference materials; certified materials for microbiological properties; DR Calux matrix reference materials; combustion element analyser standards; Conostan biodiesel standards; glass standards; and eVol hand-held automated analytical syringe.
The catalogue includes advice and application notes on how to choose and use reference materials, as well as information on Proficiency Testing schemes available from LGC Standards.
