Analytical impurity reference standards guide and govern the work in chemical sciences, ensuring consistency across a wide range of companies across pharmaceutical and medicinal R&D, forensic science and environmental analysis. As a result, when selecting the analytical standards for research and development of chemicals or calibration and ongoing quality control, there are a number of potential pitfalls that can risk the success of a project, reducing efficiency.

During this hour-long webinar, Joe Lackey, technical specialist at LGC and Toni Rantanen, quality manager at TRC, show how TRC chemistry planning groups’ robust approach to chemical synthesis and quality control has been designed to solve specific problems faced by customers when purchasing impurities used as analytical references. The webinar ends with a case study illustrating the consequences of using low-quality impurity standards.
