Starna reference materials for spectroscopy

Starna Scientific, a pioneer in the development of certified reference materials (CRMs) for spectroscopy, offers a comprehensive range of materials for instrument qualification and performance evaluation. Manufactured and calibrated under strictly controlled conditions, the materials conform to all the relevant international standards and quality protocols.

The range of Starna reference materials is continually expanding and includes references for ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry, for fluorescence, NIR and Raman spectroscopy, and for use in plate readers and HPLC instrumentation, as well as a range of specialised materials for use in bioscience. References are also available in convenient sets for instrument qualification to the requirements of pharmacopoeias and other regulatory bodies.

The calibration of Starna certified reference materials is traceable to international primary standards, allowing laboratories to demonstrate evidence of quality control according to ISO/IEC 17025, the universally recognised standard for laboratory accreditation.

Liquid references, including volatile and flammable materials, are permanently sealed by heat fusion into their cells. This process, developed by Starna, is designed to eliminate evaporation, improve stability and make handling safer.

Starna CRMs are covered by a lifetime guarantee and references can be recertified and dispatched within five working days of receipt at the Starna calibration laboratory. Reference material sets can also be customised to user requirements.

Rowe Scientific is the national Australian distributor for the Starna range of products.
