Reference Compound Synthesis
BOC Sciences provides high-quality reference compound synthesis services. Reliability is the core of our overall service and the principle that we must abide by. We keep a complete log for every step during the process of the reference compound synthesis and ensure high industry standards. Our service agreement also comes with a confidentiality agreement to protect our customers’ privacy and sensitive information.
Materials are classified into two groups by the ISO: reference materials (RMs) and certified reference materials (CRMs). RMs (reference compounds), established for measuring the quality of analysis, are critical for any measurement process characterized by a metrologically valid procedure for one or more specified properties. CRMs are used to check the quality and metrological traceability of products and to validate analytical measurement methods. For pharmaceutical industry, CRMs is the major part of regulatory specification and critical for quality assurance.
Types of reference materials (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation describes the following five types of reference material):
- Pure substances: essentially pure chemicals, characterized for chemical purity.
- Standard solutions and gas mixtures, often prepared gravimetrically from pure substances.
- Matrix reference materials, characterized for the composition of specified major, minor or trace chemical constituents. Such materials may be prepared from matrices containing the components of interest or by preparing synthetic mixtures.
- Physico-chemical reference materials, characterized for properties such as melting point, viscosity, or optical density.
- Reference objects or artifacts, characterized for functional properties such as taste, odour, octane number, flash point and hardness.
General steps required in production of a certified reference material typically include:
- Collection or synthesis of materials
- Sample preparation (including homogenization, stabilization, bottling etc.)
- Homogeneity testing
- Stability assessment
- Value assignment (“characterization” in ISO REMCO terms).
