Reference standards

Establish confidence in your analytical data with expertly developed USP reference standards and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characterization services that support accuracy, consistency, and regulatory readiness.
Reference standards

Confidence starts with the standard

Reliable reference standards are foundational to generating scientifically valid, reproducible analytical data. Our reference standard services support the development, characterization, and application of materials used for quantitative and qualitative analysis, method calibration, and ongoing quality control.

We work closely with you to understand the intended use of each reference standard, balancing analytical rigor with efficiency to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions. Leveraging advanced technologies, including NMR, our experienced scientists characterize reference materials, impurities, degradation products, and metabolites to ensure they are suitable for their role across development, validation, and commercial testing.

Our reference standards services include:

  • Reference standard qualification and requalification: Support for assay standards, impurity standards, degradation products, metabolites, and resolution standards.
  • NMR-based characterization: Structural confirmation and purity assessment using NMR to support confident identification and assignment.

Characterization, storage, and lifecycle support

Our integrated approach ensures reference standards remain reliable, available and appropriately controlled throughout their lifecycle.

Characterization

We evaluate and thoroughly characterize reference materials, impurities and byproducts based on their intended analytical application. Using techniques such as NMR alongside complementary analytical methods, our team confirms identity, structure, and suitability to deliver dependable references without unnecessary complexity.

Storage and Distribution

Once established, reference standards can be supported through controlled storage and distribution within our state-of-the-art facilities. Integrated monitoring and stability oversight help maintain integrity and availability, enabling seamless use across ongoing testing programs and product lifecycle stages.
