What Are Chromatography Standards?

Chromatography standards are essential reference materials used in instruments such as gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and mass spectrometry systems (GC-MS, LC-MS) for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Their chemical composition, purity, and concentration are strictly controlled, making them crucial for building calibration curves, identifying target compounds, method validation, and instrument calibration.

What Success Stories Can We Share?

Discover how our products are applied in real-world scenarios through our case studies.

Case 1: Third-Party Food Testing Lab Achieves Accurate Detection of Aflatoxins

Customer Background:

A specialized third-party food testing laboratory focused on providing quantitative analysis of mycotoxins for food companies and regulators.

Challenge:

When detecting aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2) using HPLC-FLD, the lab faced issues with inconsistent purity and fluctuating response values between batches, severely affecting quantification precision and method reproducibility.

Product Purchased:

Our high-purity aflatoxins mix standard (B1 [CAS: 1162-65-8], B2 [CAS: 7220-81-7], G1 [CAS: 1165-39-5], G2 [CAS: 7241-98-7]) at 1 µg/mL in acetonitrile:water (1:1), with complete COA and storage guidelines.

Results:

After use in method development and routine analysis, the calibration showed excellent linearity (R² > 0.999), sensitivity increased by ~20%, and detection fully met food safety limits. The lab praised the stability and consistency and adopted the product for long-term use.

Case 2: Pharmaceutical Company Improves API QC Efficiency with Amino Acid Standards

Customer Background:

A large pharmaceutical company developing and producing amino acid-based APIs, requiring quality control of various free amino acids.

Challenge:

The original setup used individually sourced single-component standards, which were cumbersome, unstable, and introduced cumulative errors, reducing UPLC-MS/MS method efficiency.

Product Purchased:

Our amino acid mixed standard solution (Amino Acid Mix Standard Solution), containing 17 common amino acids at 250 µmol/L each, in 0.1 N HCl, 5 mL/vial, product number AC-AAS-17MIX, with full analytical and traceability documentation.

Results:

Successfully used for UPLC-MS/MS method development and batch QC. The method showed excellent repeatability (RSD < 2%) and ~30% increase in efficiency, meeting ICH Q2 (R1) validation standards. The customer highly valued the component uniformity and ease of use, significantly optimizing their API quality monitoring workflow.

Case 3: Environmental Lab Enhances Surface Water Monitoring with Organochlorine Pesticide Standards

Customer Background:

An environmental lab responsible for monitoring persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in surface waters.

Challenge:

For GC-ECD detection of organochlorine pesticides (e.g., DDT, γ-BHC) at ng/L levels, the lab required high-purity, interference-free, homogenous standards to ensure data accuracy and traceability.

Product Purchased:

Our organochlorine pesticide mix standard, including 12 representative compounds (α-, β-, γ-, δ-BHC; o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDT, etc.), at 100 µg/mL in isooctane, 2 mL vial, compliant with EPA Method 8081A.

Results:

Combined with SPE and GC-ECD methods, the standard enabled accurate detection of pg/mL pollutants in surface water. All detection limits exceeded technical guidelines. The project passed third-party validation, and the customer now uses the product in routine monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How to choose the appropriate chromatographic standard for method development?

When selecting a standard, consider the structural characteristics of the target analyte, the expected sample matrix, the detection method (GC, HPLC, LC-MS, etc.), and regulatory requirements. Priority should be given to high-purity standards of structurally similar or homologous compounds. For trace or metabolite analysis, the use of isotopically labeled or stable internal standards is recommended to enhance quantification reliability.

Q2: Why do response values differ slightly between different batches of standards?

Such differences may result from calibration errors, minor purity variations, or the effects of transportation and storage conditions. Each batch of our standards is recalibrated and provided with a Certificate of Analysis (COA). We recommend re-establishing or validating the calibration curve when using a new batch to ensure data consistency and traceability.

Q3: What should be considered when using standards in LC-MS analysis?

When using standards in LC-MS, especially for trace analysis, solvent compatibility (e.g., avoiding high-salt solvents), ion suppression effects, and the absence of interfering peaks must be considered. It is recommended to prepare standards in MS-grade solvents and filter them to remove particulates. If using internal standard methods, ensure the internal standard does not co-elute or conflict in mass-to-charge ratio with the analyte.

Q4: Can components in multi-component mixed standards react with each other?

This depends on the chemical properties of each component and the solvent used for preparation. We assess the stability and compatibility of components before preparing mixed standards to avoid degradation or cross-reactions. For customers preparing their own mixtures, we recommend small-scale stability testing or consulting us for formulation advice.

Q5: Will the concentration of standards change during long-term storage? How to monitor it?

Some standards may undergo concentration shifts due to volatilization, oxidation, or hydrolysis, especially under high temperature or humidity. It is recommended to periodically recalibrate the method using known standards or monitor trends via retention time and peak area ratios. We recommend storing standards in a cool, dark place, recording the opening date, and confirming stability if used beyond the recommended period.
