  1. Why Use Analytical Standards for Cannabis?

    Inorganic Ventures has been manufacturing analytical standards since 1985 and in this blog post we’re going to explain what analytical standards are, and why using them for cannabis testing is so important.

    What Are Analytical Standards?

    An analytical standard is a compound of high purity and known potency that is used as a reference point, or calibration standard, against a specimen of unknown potency. Analytical standards may be certified reference materials (CRMs), and Inorganic Ventures specializes in producing certified reference materials for testing across multiple industries.

    These standards are often used in medicinal testing, but can also be used to analyze typical contaminants in food and drinks and recreational products.

    Sometimes referred to as custom standards, analytical standards can be customized depending on the testing being carried out. We can create them to meet y

  2. Introducing Eluent4515 for Anion Separation

    Eluent4515 is a new eluent concentrate that Inorganic Ventures have developed for one of our customers, Blue Ridge Analytical. It is a 0.45 M carbonate / 0.14 M bicarbonate eluent concentrate that has been developed for use in testing drinking or wastewater.

    The concentrate is ready to dilute, which can be done easily by following the provided instructions and has been manufactured for use with the AS22 Ion Chromatography column to meet the standards required for EPA Method 300.0 (A).

    What is EPA Method 300.0?

    Firstly, let us mention that the AS22 Ion Chromatography column is frequently used for anion analysis in water. The EPA Method 300.0 is a standard used by analysts who test common anions in drinking water and inorganic anions in groundwater, wastewater, and process streams. 

    What are the benefits of Eluent4515?

    To manufacture a better eluent, we needed to use the highest purity starting materials, adopt a new leaching
