Hydrocarbon Product Line Expansion

These New Hydrocarbon CRMs are now available for shipment!

 Analytical Reference Materials International (ARMI) is pleased to announce the addition of eight (8) new coal CRMs to its hydrocarbon product line. These new CRMs provide excellent coverage for the low range for Volatile Matter. Six (6) of the CRMs are produced from anthracite coal and two (2) are from bituminous coal. The 50g bottles are priced at $111.25 for the Sulfur only and $159.75 for the PROX. Also, all of ARMI's coal CRMs are bottled under Argon, in an attempt to guarantee maximum stability and shelf life.

 ARMI is also pleased to announce the introduction of a full line of coal RMs economically priced for daily use. These RMs are available for Sulfur only analysis and PROX analysis. The Sulfur values range from 0.25% up to 5.0% and the PROX RMs cover 0.75%, 1.0%, and 2.5% S. Like the CRMs, the coal RMs are packaged 50g per bottle.

 Priced at $47.50 each for the Sulfur only and at $60 each for the PROX, you now have a quality, economical product appropriate for daily use. And like ARMI's coal CRMs, these coal RMs are bottled under Argon, in an attempt to help guarantee both stability and longevity.

Heavy Metals in Plastic RMs XRF Analysis

These Sets are now available for shipment!

 European Community (EC) directives have defined specific limits for heavy metals in plastic. Sets of PE and PVC have been designed for screening heavy metals to check for compliance of these limits. We are now ready to deliver these reference materials! A manufacturing process has been developed that yields materials with good homogeneity. Br, Hg, Cr, Pb, and Cd in PE and PVC are now available in sets of 3 Reference Materials (RMs).

 These sets of reference materials consist of 3 individual discs. Each disc is 31 mm in diameter and about 13 mm thick. The overall error of concentration of the added element is estimated at less than 4% relative at a 95% confidence level. Except, below 100 mg/kg the estimated error is 5 mg/kg absolute at a 95% confidence level.

 There are many various additives combined with different plastics or polymers to give specific properties. XRF is often used to monitor these products.

If you have a specific or special application need, please contact us for the possibility of custom made reference materials.

 These materials are available now.

ARMI Proficiency Testing Program

 The ARMI Proficiency Testing Program (PTP) has been growing rapidly. Clients appreciate the significant difference and quality of this unique, ISO certified, PT Program. This PTP will enhance the data quality of any OE, XRF or ICP laboratory.

The following bullets tell why:

The ARMI PT program is a cornerstone for any Total Quality Assurance (TQA) laboratory.

Brand New - Cast Iron PT Program

 ARMI is pleased to announce a new Cast Iron Proficiency Testing Program (PTP). We now have access to a source of Cast Iron Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) that we can use within the rules of the popular ARMI PTP. This new Fast Response/CRM Cast Iron ARMI PTP is the only one available worldwide to test chemical analysis proficiency with a CRM.

 As with the other metal programs, after reporting your test results, you will keep the Certified Reference Material to use as a reference, either as a type standard or to add to your calibration. A Certificate of Analysis will be mailed to you along with a color-coded hard copy of your test results.

Please call for pricing and more information and we will help customize a program for your lab.

Hard to Find Standards - Priced to Sell

Metallic Standards for use in OE and XRF Analysis. - (Standards List)

 ARMI has recently obtained the standards inventory of a major equipment manufacturer.  Some of these materials are hard to find or no longer manufactured.  They are perfect to add to your calibration curve and/or replenish the stocks of your companys standards library.
All of these items are in new condition and are accompanied by the certificate of analysis.  These standards are in limited quantity and are subject to prior sale.

Geological Powders for use in XRF Analysis. - (Standards List)

 We have recently obtained the standards inventory of a major defunct laboratory.  Most of these materials are hard to find or no longer manufactured.  They are perfect to add to your calibration curve and/or replenish the stocks of your companys standards library.
All of these items are in good condition and are accompanied by the certificate of analysis.  These standards are in limited quantities and are subject to prior sale.

NIST Chip Standards for use in ICP & Dissolution Analysis. - (Standards List)

 We have recently obtained the standards inventory of a major defunct laboratory.  Most of these materials are hard to find or no longer manufactured.  They are perfect to add to your calibration curve and/or replenish the stocks of your companys standards library.
