Understanding Certificates of Analysis and Proper Handling of Reference Standards

• Understand the many factors that impact reference standards
• Learn best practices for storage and handling
• Review what information is available in certificates and data packs

Reference standards must perform at a consistent level each and every time you use them. Variations in analyte concentration can disrupt analyses, impede your lab’s workflow, and lead to wasted time and money. Restek’s Certificates of Analysis (CofAs) offer comprehensive information to help you understand the composition, proper storage conditions, and method of shipment for your reference standard.

In this presentation, we’ll explain the terms given on the certificate and discuss the accompanying data pack we provide. We’ll also explore how to safely store and properly prepare your reference standards for use along with what else you need to keep in mind to ensure the long-term integrity of your standards.
