greater choice and
quality
LGC Standards
is pleased to announce that ULTRA Scientific, one of its key
suppliers, has gained ISO Guide 34 accreditation for the production
of organic and inorganic certified reference materials (CRMs). ISO
Guide 34 requires an extensive protocol for homogeneity, short term
stability, long term stability, quality control and statistical
analysis.
LGC Standards has partnered with some of the
world’s most prestigious reference material producers, in order to
give our customers the widest choice of materials appropriate to
their needs. LGC Standards recognises the increasing emphasis on
CRM accuracy and the importance of selecting a material that is fit
for purpose, and so welcomes this increased level of accreditation
for ULTRA Scientific.
Jane Firth, Sector Manager for Food and
Environmental Reference Materials, LGC Standards, is positive about
this achievement: “Our customers have long relied on standards
from ULTRA Scientific with the expectation that they are of the
high quality required. All laboratories strive to ensure the
standards they use are sourced from a competent provider, and for
laboratories with ISO 17025 accreditation, this is a requirement.
ULTRA’s ISO Guide 34 accreditation provides laboratories with that
assurance.”
John Russo, Vice President and General
Manager, ULTRA Scientific, said “With 25 years of experience
operating under ISO9001 and regular audits by our accrediting
bodies and customers, ULTRA has been well positioned to implement
ISO Guide 34. Every day we look for new ways to improve our
operations and produce products of the highest quality.”
