With RVMT-BM-1, myStandards is expanding its portfolio with a new certified Black Mass Reference Material. The material was developed for laboratories, research groups, instrument manufacturers, and industrial users who want to characterize black mass more reliably, develop analytical methods, or support analytical results with greater confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RVMT-BM-1 is available as a 50 g powder bottle<\/a>. In addition, the same material is also available as a binder-free pressed pellet<\/a> under the product name RVMT-BM-1-P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Black Mass Reference Materials Matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Black mass is a complex and challenging analytical matrix. This is exactly why well-characterized reference materials are important. They can improve comparability between measurements, support method development, and provide a stronger basis for calibration, quality control, and the assessment of analytical results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For laboratories working with battery recycling materials, reliable reference materials are an important step toward more robust and interpretable analytical data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characterized Through an International Interlaboratory Comparison<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The characterization of RVMT-BM-1 was based on an extensive international interlaboratory comparison using a range of analytical and sample preparation techniques. Additional studies were performed to assess the homogeneity and stability of the material. Production, characterization, homogeneity and stability assessment, and value assignment were carried out in accordance with the principles and recommendations of ISO 17034 and ISO 33405.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final certificate provides the certified and informative values together with their expanded uncertainties. A detailed certification report provides further information on material preparation, homogeneity and stability assessment, participating analytical methods, statistical evaluation, and value assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both documents are available for download on the RVMT-BM-1 product page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participating Laboratories and Organizations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The characterization of RVMT-BM-1 was made possible through the contribution of laboratories and analytical specialists from industry, research, testing, and instrument manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to sincerely thank all participating organizations for their valuable analytical work, expertise, and support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
