LGC Standards Launches LoGiCal®, a New Range of Certified Reference Materials

22 May 2012

Product news

LGC Standards, one of the world’s leading suppliers of reference materials, has launched the LoGiCal range of certified reference materials. Manufactured and certified to ISO Guide 34, using ISO 17025 accredited processes in LGC’s own laboratories, the new range offers scientists a choice of natural and deuterium labelled compounds, each supplied with a detailed Certificate of Analysis. LoGiCal certified reference materials fully satisfy national and international labelling and other requirements for transportation, health and safety.

The range will focus on the forensic and clinical sectors. Initially providing laboratories with access to over 800 of the most widely used standard reference materials, the new product range will comprise drugs of abuse and prescription drugs in standard solutions and powder format, with stocks maintained locally at LGC Standards international offices to help eliminate delays due to the complex, lengthy import procedures associated with the procurement of controlled substances.

David Richardson, CEO of LGC, said: “LGC Standards has used many years of experience and their industry expertise to manufacture exactly what our customers require. The new LoGiCal product range is unique to LGC Standards, and will be an asset to laboratories relying on high quality certified reference materials.”
