Certificates of Analysis

Alpha Resources® offers a wide variety of Reference Materials and concentrations. Alpha takes the time to find the correct raw materials using a vigorous process for preparation that ensures shelflife and stability of analysis.

• Pins/Rings: Alpha's selection in material grades, along with the latest manufacturing technologies, and surface preparation, ensure shelf-life and stability for laboratory testing confidence.

• Chips: Using the latest machining technologies to ensure consistent chip size, cleanliness and homogeneity leads to a more stable chip reference material and a consistent analysis.

Design Method and Certification Process

Alpha Resources® is committed to providing industry leading Reference Materials. This all begins with our certification process, which has been standardized, with a strong track record of precision and accuracy.

With the resources available to Alpha, we’re able to provide certified values with minimal bias. You may ask how this is accomplished. We employ multiple analyzers from competing OEM’s to eliminate any bias from the manufacturer. In addition, we have multiple technicians running these instruments. These certification runs can take weeks and even months until we’re satisfied with the data.

Robust statistical techniques are utilized to create a value that is not only repeatable but also very reproducible. We also set ourselves apart from the competition by not limiting ourselves in terms of primary Reference Materials to establish our traceability.

We’re willing to use Reference Materials from various National Metrology Institutes, which shows our commutability to international customers. We use the latest methods and follow developing publications closely for updates on techniques and requirements. Our goal is to produce a certified reference material that will be fit for your purpose, regardless of instrumentation or method.

We process one lot of material at a time to ensure no cross-contamination occurs. This sometimes requires additional time for lots to be certified, but guarantees there will be no mix-ups. All of our equipment is maintained and calibrated at specified intervals to be certain the instrumentation delivers optimal performance when it counts.

We offer a wide variety of compositions with various base materials to fit your specific needs. Our knowledge of the industry allows us to be on the cutting edge in terms of new standard development.

We have a team of individuals who oversee our design and development of new reference material product lines. We’re always willing to work with the customer to help them find just what they’re looking for and our phone lines are open for quick consultations, if necessary.
