At Inorganic Ventures, we have always prioritized continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we are thrilled to announce a significant step towards becoming more environmentally conscious: Effective September 1, 2023, our products will no longer be enclosed with a plastic, heat-sealed band on each bottle cap.

A Look Back: Packaging Bottles with Care

 Last year, we proudly packaged nearly 150,000 bottles, ensuring our valued distributors received our high-quality products securely. As a tamper-evident practice, we introduced heat-sealed bands to our bottle caps, providing an extra layer of protection. However, with advancements in Transpiration Control Technology (TCT) – a game-changer in product integrity – we reevaluated our packaging approach.

Certified reference materials (CRMs) are vital in a range of industries as they ensure measurements are accurate and reliable. They are commonly used in environmental and pharmaceutical industries, as well as mining and scientific research. One aspect that is often questioned is the expiration date of a CRM - which is a crucial consideration, as it signifies the duration during which the material is expected to maintain its certified properties under recommended storage conditions. This blog post will discuss CRM expiration dates, the factors involved, and when cRMs actually expire.

Explanation of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs)

CRMs are high-quality materials with known properties that serve as benchmarks for calibrating and validating measuring systems. These materials are meticulously characterized by various manufacturers and should achieve traceability to the International

Mercury (Hg) can be known as a problem element in trace metals analysis. Mercury is a toxin that is second only to lead as a cause of heavy metal poisoning. Additionally, mercury is prone to methylation – creating methylmercury – and vaporization. Both methylmercury and gas-phase mercury are even more toxic than the inorganic liquid form. There are not only safety concerns associated with Hg samples, but accuracy and practicality issues too. This blog post will explore the common problems encountered with Hg samples and how using mercury standards can help overcome these challenges.

Understanding Mercury Standards

Mercury standards come in a range of different formats, including elemental, inorganic, and organic standards. Certified reference materials (CRMs) are preferable as they guarantee traceability and
