Phthalate Standards – Relevance and Application
Because of their extensive use in plastics, phthalates of various types are now ubiquitously present in the environment. The fact that they can migrate into foodstuffs, can bioaccumulate, are toxic and poorly degradable means that they are of concern from a health and safety perspective. To protect consumers, many methods have been developed to qualitatively and quantitatively detect and measure phthalates, with chromatography being the method of choice. Irrespective of the method used, there is a requirement for high quality, well characterised phthalate standards. Reagecon offers a significant range of such standards which can be used for calibration, verification, quality control and method validation of chromatographic equipment.
Practical Considerations for Sampling
Poor sampling has a profound negative effect on the quality of an analytical result. Incorrect choice of sampling equipment, containers, storage and transport all have a deleterious effect on the sample integrity and thus affect the final result. Sampling errors can...
Quality Assurance and Accreditation in the Analytical Laboratory
Introduction The value of the chemical measurement depends upon the degree of confidence that can be placed on the results. Increasingly, quality assurance principles are being applied. These do not actually guarantee the quality of the data produced, but increases...
Quality Control – Materials and Methods
Introduction ‘Quality control’ and ‘quality assurance’ are terms whose meanings are often confused. Quality assurance relates to the overall measures taken by the laboratory to ensure and regulate quality, whereas quality control describes the individual measures...
Reagecon Conductivity Standards – Context, Justification, Features and Benefits
Abstract Over the last 140 years several groups of researchers have carried out highly significant work on the development and enhancement of conductivity standards. Most of this work has been applied to either primary standards or secondary standards that lack...

Redox Standards
Reagecon produces a complete range of high-quality Redox Standards for the control, validation or qualification of Redox measurement. In fact, our range are the widest available on the market, have a very high specification of ± 5 mV and guaranteed stability throughout their entire shelf life, even after opening the bottle.
Redox Standards
This short video provides viewers with an overview and short summary of Redox Standards.
Redox potential is measured by a redox electrode which is capable of absorbing or releasing electrons. The material of the electrode does not react with or alter the chemistry of the reaction. When measuring with an ORP electrode, electrons flow from the electrode to the sample or other solution and vice versa simultaneously. It is this activity that is being measured and this is temperature dependant and sometimes pH dependant.
Refractive Index (RI) and Brix Standards – Theory and Application
The measurement of Refractive Index (RI) is an important parameter in a whole range of industries. There are several makes and models of refractometers available on the market, that vary in cost and complexity. The instruments fulfil to a varying degree, fitness for...
