[color=#3b3a3a][size=3][font=Montserrat-Regular]Analytical standards are reference chemicals or substances to calibrate instruments, validate processes and confirm the reproducibility of analytic measurements. They are typically purity, concentration or composition standards and give you a well-known reference point in which to analyse. They're critical to measuring the concentration of analyte in samples, to calibrating detection equipment, and to verifying the quality of analyses.[/font][/size][/color]

[color=#3b3a3a][size=3][font=Montserrat-Regular]Primary Standards: These are ultra pure products whose amount is known. They calibrate analytical instruments or manufacture calibration solutions.[/font][/size][/color]
