LGC Promochem, Europe’s leading supplier of  reference materials, features new dairy and veterinary medicine standards in latest catalogue.

Reference materials are a vital tool for analysts, helping to improve accuracy, traceability and repeatability of chemical measurements. LGC Promochem supplies two types of materials: standards intended for instrument and test protocol calibration, and matrix materials which are samples with known parameters or levels of analytes, that allow analysts to check their methods for accuracy and repeatability. This sort of validation is increasingly important for laboratory accreditation and where analytical results are required by industry regulators.

New to the second edition of the catalogue are milk and other dairy reference materials, produced by MUVA in Germany, complete with values for nutritional parameters, food related phyto standards from the ChromaDex range and certified veterinary medicine standards for use in residue analysis from NMIA in Australia. There are also other food additive standards for sweeteners, preservatives and colours.

In addition to all the new reference materials, three sections of complementary products have also been included in this new edition. They are: custom solutions, prepared according to individual requirements; physical property standards for calibration of instruments used for physical testing; and the LGC Promochem range of solvents and related products.

As the leading reference materials supplier in Europe, LGC Promochem offers the widest range of reference materials available from a single source. They are supplied by the world’s leading manufacturers and from LGC’s in-house production facilities, ensuring that they meet the exacting needs of the analytical community. LGC Promochem’s network of offices across Europe and in India, and experience in reference materials distribution, means the company can provide faster delivery and local technical support .
