The VWR® ARISTAR® Chromium Standard Solutions are high-purity single-element certified reference materials (CRMs) developed for accurate calibration and validation of ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and AAS analytical methods.
These standards are available in multiple matrices (10% HCl or 2–5% HNO₃) and concentrations, providing flexibility for different analytical requirements and sample types. Each solution ensures excellent stability, traceability, and analytical precision for chromium determination in environmental, industrial, and research applications.
All standards are traceable to SRMs from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and manufactured under ISO 17034 / ISO/IEC 17025 accredited facilities, ensuring global compliance and analytical confidence.
