Numerous experiments and analyses conducted in the field of science significantly impact decisions made based on their results. The purpose of testing is to identify materials, monitor reactions, and understand how specific chemicals, materials, and other samples work and what applications they are suitable for. However, the obtained results must be accurate; otherwise, subsequent actions may have dire consequences for the environment and human health.
In scientific research, quality control, and product development, Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) ensure precision, comparability, and repeatability of analytical measurements and allow laboratories and scientists across the world to understand each other’s results. During sample preparation, CRMs have a vital role as they are used as a reference, or standard, for analytical measurements to be assessed against to ensure accuracy and correct any errors t
