LGC Standards has supported laboratory success in environmental and food safety testing for over 50 years, beginning with the trusted Dr. Ehrenstorfer brand of pesticide reference materials. Our brands and product portfolio continued to evolve and expand to now include over 17,000 ISO/IEC 17034 and 17025-accredited reference materials under the DRE, O2si and TRC brands. Our portfolio includes a broad range of analytes, including pesticides, PFAS, pharmaceutical and veterinary residues, and microplastics. 

From aqueous inorganics to water testing reference materials, find what you need.

APPLICATION NOTE Optimizing PFAS Reference Material Design for Use With Liquid Chromatography High Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometry With the US EPA setting legally enforceable MCLs for several PFAS compounds in drinking water at low ng/L concentrations, it is important to understand how different PFAS analytes in reference materials interact with solvents and surfaces, as well as response factors, to ensure that results are accurate and regulatory limits are met effectively.

 

SCIENTIFIC POSTER Microplastics: An Emerging Contaminate of Concern There has been a rapid increase in research surrounding microplastics. The lack of reference materials, however, makes it difficult to compare and validate methods. This work shows the challenges in choosing the design criteria and how these can impact how the characterization data is presented.

 

WHITE PAPER Banned but Not Gone—The Lingering Impact of PCBs in Nature and Our Food This whitepaper explores the structural diversity and toxicological properties of PCB congeners, outlining key exposure routes and health effects in humans and wildlife. We place particular emphasis on analytical approaches for detecting PCBs in complex matrices.
