Internationally recognizedand accredited

More than 23 years ofmanufacturing PT products

Participating laboratoriesin more than 80 countries

More than 14,500 PTreports issued per year

More than 630,000 datapoints analyzed annually

Critical evaluations are just that—critical. ERA’s QuiK™Response PTs are on demand PTs that return your final study results in just two business days of entering your study data. With QuiKResponse, gone are the days of waiting for the study close and then waiting weeks for final results.

No wondering. No worries. Just results. Fast. If you need to quickly demonstrate corrective action or confirm a new method, and you cannot wait for a regularly scheduled PT study, then speak with an authorized sales partner about QuiKResponse PTs.

QuiK™Response PT

Having been involved with environmental proficiency testing from the start, ERA has focused on helping you improve your analytical processes and expand your analytical capabilities.

First, your ERA PT study results are compared to the test results of laboratories ranging in size and specialty from around the world—not just one country, not just one continent—for a bigger and better comparison and greater statistical significance of your results..

Second, a larger data set translates to greater statistical confidence in your study results. Participating in smaller studies puts you at risk to receive distorted data in the form of a biased mean or incorrect standard.

T hird, ERA’s line of Guide 34 certified reference materials are tools to help you:

■ Build the strongest quality assurance program

■ Develop a new method

■ Train and evaluate laboratory staff

■ Assess analytical skills of potential hires

■ Determine root cause of an analytical failure

What is a Certified Reference Material?

A certified reference material (CRM) is a standard with known concentrations or assigned values of specified analytes. T he standard has a known uncertainty, homogeneity, and stability and assigned values of the analytes are traceable to an independent reference. A CRM is accompanied by an authenticated certificate of analysis.

Uses for Certified Reference Materials

■ Development of a new analytical method

■ Root cause analysis

■ Analyst training and demonstration of capability

■ Independent calibration verification

What is a Proficiency Test?

A proficiency test (PT) is an analysis of what is often referred to as a blind sample or a sample with unknown concentrations of analytes for the purpose of evaluating a laboratory’s analytical performance.

Uses for Proficiency Testing

■ Independent validation of your laboratory’s measurement processes

■ Compliance to accreditation requirements

■ Expand scope of accreditation to include a new method

■ Inter-laboratory performance comparison

What is a QuiK™Response?

Similar to a proficiency test, a QuiK Response (QR) is a sample with unknown concentrations. However, unlike a scheduled PT, QR is on-demand and available at any time. Plus, your results are returned within two business days.

Uses for QuiKResponse

■ Demonstrate corrective action after a failed proficiency test

■ Expand scope of accreditation to include a new method

■ Document and validate the effectiveness of corrective actions

A CRM

Certified Reference Material—a sample with known concentrations of one or more analytes.

Easy-to-use—ERA LCS/MS spiking standards are ready to use—no dilutions are required.

Reliable and consistent—eliminate the possibility of errors from the contamination or repeated multiple dilutions of your primary stock standards.

Independently verified—ERA LCS/MS standards are analytically verified and traced to NIST SRMs where available.

Save money—You no longer need to pay for microcuries of activity when you only need picocuries. You also eliminate the cost of activity loss for short-lived isotopes.

Reduce analytical cost—You no longer need to spend valuable instrument time re-verifying standard stability. Order what you expect to use on a quarterly or annual basis—we’ll do the verification.

The process is easy:

1. Select from any of the following carrier-free, single radionuclide standards.

2. Choose an activity up to the maximum listed in the table below.

3. Choose a convenient volume: 2 to 20 mL glass vials available.

4. For labs that analyze samples with more elevated activities, call for standard availablity and pricing.

5. We will prepare the standards to your specifications and ship within 72 hours.

Did you know that ERA chemists have prepared more than 20,000 unique custom standards?

ERA’s custom projects cover a range of analytes, concentrations and matrices. Whether it is one standard or one hundred, our chemists regularly prepare standards for a range of needs and situations including managed methodology studies, project or site-specific matrices, project or sample specific limits, and ultra-trace to percent level concentrations.

Examples of custom standards prepared by ERA custom chemists:

Performance Evaluation With Double Blind Project

Gain a level of confidence with tangible evidence that your laboratory is meeting all quality objectives through a double blind performance evaluation (PE).

The key to evaluating the real performance of your laboratory is in finding the proper blend of realistic sample designs and accurate, stable analyte concentrations.

Here is how a performance evaluation program works:

1. Specify the matrices, analytes, and concentrations. If a stock standard is not available, we can design and prepare custom PE standards.

2. Send us your empty sample bottles, labels, chain-of-custody forms and sample coolers.

3. We prepare, dilute (if necessary), and preserve the standards, fill your sample bottles, and return the samples to you via overnight delivery service. You’ll receive ERA’s certified values and performance acceptance limits (PALs) under separate sealed cover.

4. Integrate the standards into your sampling event or introduce them into your lab’s routine sample load.

5. Your lab analyzes the blind PE standards along with routine samples.

6. Compare your lab’s results to ERA’s certified values and performance acceptance limits.

ERA can help you design a double-blind project that matches your project-specific needs. Speak with an ERA representative today to begin the process of understanding the real performance of your laboratory.

Contact an ERA authorized sales partner for more information to get started with a custom standards order.
