CPAChem : What matériaux of référence certifiés for fiabiliser the analysiss?

CPAChem designs and manufactures certified reference materials (CRM) and calibration standards for chromatography, spectrometry and inorganic analysis. Its ready-to-use and custom blends help environmental, food, pharmaceutical and petrochemical laboratories ensure accuracy, traceability and compliance. Dutscher distributes these reliable, fully documented solutions, tailored to the demands of R&D, quality control and production.

A reference standards specialist turned trusted partner

Based in Europe, CPAChem has specialised from the outset in the gravimetric preparation of high-purity standard solutions. By working closely with analysts, the brand has built a portfolio spanning organic and inorganic matrices: pesticides, PAHs, solvents and hydrocarbons, as well as metals for ICP/AAS and anions/cations for IC. Over the years it has put in place a robust quality system aligned with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025, and expanded manufacturing to deliver stable, homogeneous multi-component mixes supplied with comprehensive traceability certificates. Fast lead times, bespoke formulation services and responsive technical support make CPAChem a dependable partner for laboratories across Europe.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

At the heart of CPAChem’s expertise: the preparation of CRMs and ready-to-use calibration standards for GC/GC-MS, HPLC/UHPLC-MS, ICP-OES/ICP-MS, AAS and IC. The brand formulates mono- and multi-analyte standards covering key families: residues of pesticides, PAHs, BTEX and volatile solvents, hydrocarbons, as well as trace-element mixes for metals analysis. The target matrices reflect real-world needs: waters and effluents, soils and sediments, food and beverages, oils and fuels, pharmaceuticals. CPAChem also produces custom blends (concentration ranges, solvents, pack formats) to align calibration with the method and the instrument. The quality system is aligned with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025, ensuring metrological traceability, complete technical documentation and inter-batch reproducibility. In practice, that means stable standards, compatible with routine as well as validation protocols, underpinning the trueness and comparability of results.

Frequently asked questions about CPAChem

Which types of reference materials does CPAChem offer?
Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) and single- or multi-component standards for GC/LC, ICP/AAS and IC, covering pesticides, PAHs, BTEX, solvents, hydrocarbons and metals, available ready-to-use or custom-made.

Are CPAChem standards traceable and documented?
Yes. Each batch is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) detailing traceability, method, uncertainty, stability and recommendations for use, supporting audit compliance.

Does CPAChem manufacture bespoke mixes? Lead times?
Yes. Tailor-made formulations (analytes, concentrations, solvents, vial or pack size). Lead times depend on complexity and are typically short once the technical specification is approved.

Are the standards compatible with our instruments?
CPAChem provides solvents and concentrations suited to GC/GC-MS, HPLC/UHPLC-MS, ICP-OES/ICP-MS, AAS and IC platforms.

What are the storage conditions and stability?
Stated on the label and in the CoA. In general: keep tightly closed, protect from light; temperature according to matrix/solvent. Observe stability dates and maintain a record of first opening.

What about quality and regulatory commitments?
Manufacturing follows procedures aligned with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. SDS and labelling comply with current chemical regulations for safe use in the laboratory.
