Controllab releases new Certified Reference Materials

Controllab releases new Certified Reference Materials

Company scope update promotes more quality in several segments.

Controllab is a benchmark in quality control for assays and offers solutions to ensure analytical quality, such as Certified Reference Materials (CRMs).

CRMs are an essential tool to ensure analytical quality in laboratories and obtain more accurate and reliable results.

In the last month, the company received ISO 17034 recognition from General Coordination for Accreditation of Inmetro for new categories, including thermodynamic properties and environmental chemical composition, totaling almost 150 accredited materials.

With this, Controllab, which has more than 45 years of experience in quality assurance solutions, consolidates itself as a reference for institutions that use CRMs in their analytical processes.

Next, learn more about CRMs and how these materials can help your routine.

What are the benefits of including CRMs in the analytical routine?

With them, you can:

  • validate and verify the performance of new methodologies or equipment;
  • control the quality of measurements;
  • calibrate and check the equipment;
  • demonstrate metrological traceability.

In addition, it is possible to access a detailed certificate that allows multiple analytical perceptions. MRCs are produced following international criteria, established in the ISO 17034 standard, in which Controllab has PMR 0009 recognition for the following properties:

Environmental

Cyanide, Chloride, Residual Chlorine, Fluoride, Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammoniacal Nitrogen, Orthophosphate, Dissolved Oxygen, Salinity, Total Dissolved Solids and Sulfate.

Chemical

pH, Conductivity and Redox Potential (ORP).

Physical

Refractive Index and Degree Brix, Turbidity, Color and Melting Point.

Clinical and Biological

In this property, Controllab stands out with the CRM Qualitative Reference Cultures.

With the expansion of the scope, around 80 fundamental strains are currently available for the quality control of inputs used in clinical and veterinary diagnostic tests, in microbiological analyzes of food, water, pharmaceutical products and the environment.

These strains help Brazilian laboratories to meet BrCAST guidelines according to Ordinance MS No. 64 of 12/11/2018 and, consequently, RDC 786/2023.

Making this diversity of CRMs available to the analytical public is in line with Controllab’s mission to continually provide the best solutions for laboratory quality control.

To celebrate winning new recognitions, the company has prepared a series of offers that include special discounts on MRCs, with immediate delivery. These conditions are valid for a specified period of time and will guarantee the quality, reliability and validity of the analyzes carried out.

PRM 0009

Certified Reference Material Producer

Accredited by Coordenação-Geral de Acreditação do Inmetro

Controllab has been accredited as a Certified Reference Material (CRM) Producer since 2016 by Cgcre, under number PMR 0009. The conformity assessment is carried out in accordance with the requirements established in ABNT NBR ISO 17034 and Inmetro standards, ensuring competence for the production of CRMs, as defined in the Scope of Accreditation.

This accreditation attests to Controllab’s technical competence in producing CRMs according to international requirements and enables it to be recognized in other countries, under mutual recognition agreements, thereby reducing technical barriers between Brazil and other countries across continents.

CAL 0214

Calibration Laboratory

Accredited by Coordenação-Geral de Acreditação do Inmetro

In December 2002, the Calibration Laboratory was accredited by Cgcre. With this recognition, it became part of the Brazilian network of accredited laboratories, under number 214. Since then, it has been periodically evaluated for the maintenance and/or extension of its accreditation.

The Inmetro seal attests to Controllab’s technical competence, credibility, and operational capability for calibration services, in accordance with the requirements of ABNT NBR ISO/IEC 17025.

PEP 0003

Proficiency Test Provider

Accredited by Coordenação-Geral de Acreditação do Inmetro

In September 2011, Controllab was accredited by Cgcre as a proficiency test provider, under nº PEP0003. Initially as part of a pilot project by Inmetro, this accreditation was based on ILAC G13: 2007 and included several clinical and hemotherapy tests. In the periodic evaluations of this accreditation, new segments and tests are included and the evaluation is now conducted according to ABNT NBR ISO/IEC 17043.

This accreditation attests to Controllab’s technical competence to develop and conduct proficiency tests in accordance with international requirements and enables it to be recognized in other countries, in accordance with mutual recognition agreements signed by Brazil in Mercosur, the Americas and Europe.
