Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Metrology
  • Laboratory Science

Background:

  • Reference materials (RMs) are crucial for the validation, implementation, and routine use of analytical methods.
  • AOAC INTERNATIONAL's Technical Division on Reference Materials (TDRM) aims to standardize RM usage.
  • Analysts require efficient tools to identify appropriate RMs for specific AOAC Official Methods of Analysis (OMA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and recommend policies and criteria for the development and use of RMs.
  • To provide analysts with a searchable online database for identifying RMs compatible with AOAC OMA.
  • To streamline the process of selecting RMs based on analytes, matrices, and specific methods.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a searchable online database by the TDRM.

  • Inclusion of essential information for RMs, with links to producer websites for further details (e.g., measurement uncertainty).
  • Solicitation of data sets from National Metrology Institutes and accredited producers on a voluntary basis.

    • Main Results:

    • A user-friendly database is available to query RMs by analyte, analyte/matrix, or specific AOAC OMA.
    • The database prioritizes essential information for ease of use and maintenance.
    • Links to external resources provide comprehensive details on RMs.

    Conclusions:

    • The TDRM database enhances the accessibility and selection of reference materials for AOAC methods.
    • The database design emphasizes ease of use, operation, and cost management.
    • This resource supports the reliable application of AOAC INTERNATIONAL methods in analytical laboratories.
