LGC Promochem introduces customised reference standards

LGC Promochem, Europe’s leading supplier of certified reference materials, has introduced bespoke standard solutions to its product offering.

Through talking to scientists in all fields of analysis, LGC Promochem has found that high on their wish list is a range of cost-effective reference standard solutions tailored to their specific requirements. Analysts said they would prefer to use standard mixes containing the correct combination of components at the right levels and in the right solvents, enabling them to save time, effort and money in preparing solutions, and simplifying quality control by having just one solution with a single expiry date. So LGC Promochem has set out to fulfil this wish by offering custom solutions.

Having drawn on the expertise and facilities of its leading suppliers of chemical standards including ULTRA Scientific, LGC Promochem’s custom solutions range offers a vast selection of analytes all mixed according to the customer’s specifications. Components could include: 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. 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 for many of the solutions.

Custom solution reference materials can be produced in a variety of pack sizes and types of packaging, including the Certan^® vial, which is an ideal way of storing standards in volatile solvents.
