For almost 70 years, the focus of the NBS program for Standard Samples and eventually Standard Reference Materials was the characterization of major and minor constituents in metals, ores, glasses, and similar materials. However, with the development of analytical methods capable of accurate trace element analysis in the late 1950s...

The year 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the issuance of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1571 Orchard Leaves as the first biological-matrix certified reference material (CRM) by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), now the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). SRM 1571 Orchard Leaves had certified values for...

Since 1973 reference materials have been developed by scientists in the European Commission (EC). The first certified reference materials (CRMs) were developed within the former Central Bureau for Nuclear Measurements (CBNM) in Geel, Belgium, for oxygen in zirconium. In 1974 the Commission set up a dedicated service for the certification...

Natural matrix reference materials are often preferred for biomedical and bioscience applications because they more closely mimic the biological samples being analyzed. This creates challenges in acquiring the large volumes of serum, plasma, or urine needed for reference material preparation, particularly when multiple endogenous levels of a particular analyte are...

In the UK, certified reference materials (CRMs) for chemistry were first prepared as an offshoot of the work of the Chemical Research Laboratory and its successor organisation (National Chemical Laboratory) in improving available physico-chemical data. To define parameters, such as melting, boiling and flash point required ultra-high purity materials of...
