Reference materials
ISO 17034 ACCREDITATION FOR PRECIOUS METALS REFERENCE MATERIALS
We offer two types of ISO 17034 Reference Materials:
• Pre-cut high-purity reference materials
• Custom-made reference materials
PRE-CUT HIGH-PURITY
REFERENCE MATERIALS
(FOR CUPELLATION, ICP-OES
& POTENTIOMETRY)
Pre-cut high-purity reference materials are high quality, pre-cut, fine gold, silver, platinum, or palladium reference materials for cupellation, ICP-OES, and potentiometry.
They can be used as proofs and inquartation materials. By offering these metals in different sizes, we allow laboratories to speed up their processes by selecting the most appropriate weight.
Please contact us for direct orders – we keep most of these high-purity materials in stock:

CUSTOM-MADE REFERENCE MATERIALS
Custom-made reference materials range from fine metals with specified impurities to complex alloys, and are produced to customer’s specifications.
Materials can be prepared as reference materials (RM) or Certified reference materials (CRM) depending on intended usage: calibration and re-calibration (SUS) standards, materials for inter-laboratory testing (round robin), control samples, metrology applications…
Reference materials are available in various shapes: disks, plates, ingots, wires…

OUR NEW PRODUCTION FACILITY
To ensure the highest quality and full traceability of our (Certified) reference materials, we manufacture them in an independent department at our Swiss facility, with a dedicated team of professionals.
In 2020, we significantly increased the size of our production facility and further upgraded its state-of-the-art equipment.
Metalor is the only ISO 17034 accredited producer of Certified reference materials in the field of precious metals
