Certified Reference Materials

Axion provides certified reference materials and analytical standards designed to support accurate calibration, method validation, and regulatory compliance across laboratory workflows.

Our materials include high-purity isolates, stock solutions, and ready-to-use calibration standards developed to match real testing conditions. Each custom standard includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) to support documentation, accreditation, and regulatory requirements.

Unlike generic reference materials, Axion’s certified analytical standards are developed to match your specific analytes, matrices, and analytical methods.

Key Benefits of Axion Custom Standards:

  • Tailored Solutions: Select exact analytes, concentrations, and matrices aligned with your methods and equipment.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Developed in accordance with ISO, USP, and other industry standards to support compliance and audits.

  • Enhanced Accuracy: Engineered to deliver consistent, reproducible data across batches and sample types.

From consultation to delivery, Axion partners with you to develop customized solutions aligned with your laboratory’s needs. Our team of experts ensures your reference materials not only meet expectations but set the standard for precision and reliability in your operations.

Certified Reference Materials FAQs

  • Certified reference materials (CRMs) are substances with well-characterized properties used to calibrate instruments, validate analytical methods, and ensure accuracy in laboratory testing. CRMs include a certificate of analysis that documents the certified values and measurement uncertainty.

  • Certified reference materials are used in laboratories for instrument calibration, method validation, quality control, and regulatory compliance. They help ensure analytical measurements are accurate, reproducible, and traceable to recognized standards.

  • A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) typically includes certified values, measurement uncertainty, traceability information, expiration or stability data, and instructions for proper storage and use. This documentation ensures laboratories meet regulatory and accreditation requirements.

  • A reference material contains known properties used for testing or calibration, while a certified reference material (CRM) includes certified values verified through rigorous characterization and accompanied by official documentation such as a certificate of analysis.

  • Laboratories use certified reference materials when validating analytical methods, calibrating instruments, verifying analytical accuracy, and meeting regulatory or accreditation requirements such as ISO standards.

  • Yes. Custom certified reference materials can be developed with specific analytes, concentrations, or matrices to match laboratory methods and real testing conditions.
