LGC Promochem exhibits for the first time and marks the occasion with a daily draw with a first prize at HET Instrument in November 2004.
The 25th Het Instrument show is being held from 1 to 5 November 2004 and LGC Promochem will be running a daily draw for new and existing customers with a first prize of a voucher redeemable against your next order.
It is the first time LGC Promochem has exhibited at Het Instrument.
Technical staff will be on hand to answer all your questions about reference materials in a wide range of application areas including new products for pharmaceuticals.
Certified reference materials are essential tools for analysts working to ISO 17025, providing traceability to appropriate measurement standards.
LGC Promochem supplies a broad range of certified reference materials including standards and matrix materials, which are increasingly important for laboratory accreditation, particularly where analytical results are used for forensic or litigation purposes.
LGC Promochem's product range includes reference materials for food, phytochemicals, botanicals, occupational hygiene, forensic toxicology and environmental applications such as contaminated soil, metals and oils.
And it is not just chemical analytes: LGC Promochem offers a full range of physical property standards including light absorbency for calibrating spectrometers, thermal standards for melting point or flash point, standards for properties of particles such as surface area, shape and size, and amperometric and potentiometric standards concerned with pH, redox, ion activity and conductivity.
Scientists in the pharmaceutical sector will be particularly interested in LGC Promochem's expanded range of pharmaceutical reference substances and impurities.
The use of impurity standards, which are available from the leading pharmacopoeias as well as from Mikromol which supplies over 1700 different substances, is considered to be the most reliable and secure way to determine impurities in drug substances or drug products.
All the new products are detailed in the latest edition of LGC Promochem's catalogue which will be available along with expert advice on their use.
There will also be an opportunity to register for 'Analytical method validation', the next in LGC Promochem's successful European series of USP pharmacopeial education courses.
This one-day course will be held at the CPhl Exhibition in Brussels on 8 December 2004 and will cover the validation requirements of USP-NF General Chapter 1225 and ICH Q2A/Q2B together with recommendations on performing validation studies from the International Conference on Harmonisation, the Food and Drug Administration and United States Pharmacopeia, as well as the associated documentation requirements for validation protocols.
Another first from LGC Promochem is the Custom Solutions option which allows reference materials to be prepared to customers' own specifications. Drawing on the facilities of leading suppliers of chemical standards, for example Ultra Scientific, LGC Promochem's Custom Solutions offer a huge range of analytes mixed according to customers' specifications including: inorganic species such as metals or anions in aqueous solution; metals in mineral oil; and organic compounds such as pesticides, PAHs, PCBs, VOCs, Semi-VOCs and BTEX, in a variety of organic solvents or in aqueous solution.
The solvent is the customer's choice provided, of course, that there are no problems with solubility or the mix of analytes.
The materials are prepared gravimetrically, with the option of quantitative confirmation, and each is accompanied by a certificate detailing the concentration of each component.
There is also the option of an additional Datapak with full analytical and gravimetric data.
