Presentation of our new product classifications

Today we present you our new product classifications.

As you may have noticed, we have added product classifications to our nano-pellets and and would like to introduce them to you:

CRM: Certified Reference Material
RCM: Recharacterized Material
PCM: Processed Material

These product classifications should help you to find the right pellet on our site even faster. Also you can still filter by size, method or even field of application.

What do the new tags mean in detail?

Most of the materials we currently have in our portfolio are processed materials – PCM. Materials from this category are purchased reference material powders, which we process using our innovative technology. During the process, the powder is subjected to our own material-specific milling protocol and pressed into pellets without any binders using a programmable hydraulic press. All information about the data and the original manufacturer can be found in the respective product information sheet.

Recharacterized materials – RCM – either undergo the same process as processed materials, with the difference that we add an analytical step in which the nano-powders are analyzed in competent laboratories using various methods, or they correspond to certified reference materials where the uncertainties are not exactly transferable to the current batch or selected method. Information on the results and the procedure can also be found in the product information sheets.

The third category identifies the certified reference materials – CRM. This tag is only given to products that are produced by us in accordance with the standard ISO 17034, meaning the nano-pellets are tested for homogeneity and stability, and the nano-powder is characterized in competent laboratories. In contrast to the basic properties of a simple reference material, the requirements for a certified reference material are more stringent, this is made clear by the definition of ISO.
