Achieving superior instrument precision with fluorescent calibration standards
Starna Scientific Ltd, with 50 years experience in developing and manufacturing fluorescence reference materials, proudly highlights its enhanced polymer fluorescent references. These advanced materials, featuring proprietary dyes, offer improved calibration accuracy and longevity for fluorimetry systems.
Calibration is crucial for precision in fluorescence-based analytical methods, especially in sectors like life sciences
where regulatory compliance is essential. Starna’s innovative references ensure more accurate measurements and instrument control.
These materials are versatile, applicable across fluorometers, point-of-care devices, PCR & diagnostic devices, and microscopy systems. Their robustness ensures traceability and ease of comparison between instruments and measurements, vital for long-term performance.
Starna’s ISO 17034 accreditation guarantees stability and homogeneity, critical for reference material production. In addition, all fluorescent references undergo rigorous individual quality control processes to ensure they meet specific custom requirements. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that these fluorescent references consistently deliver accurate and reliable results for customers. The US Pharmacopeia General Chapter <853> endorses these references for fluorescence instrument qualification.
These references enable precise spectral corrections, essential for inter-instrument comparisons and consistent performance. Available in various formats and concentrations, they ensure optimal performance across different systems.
Starna’s dedication to accuracy and innovation drives the development of these advanced materials, pushing calibration boundaries while maintaining high quality standards.

Precision toroidal mirrors for spectroscopy and imaging
High-precision synthetic sediment standard for IRMS and TOC
Elemental Microanalysis, a global leader in elemental analysis supplies, has introduced the first in a new series of synthetic sediment standards designed for isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and total organic carbon (TOC) analysis.
The new reference material, B2251, replicates the elemental composition of natural sediment using carefully selected mineral and chemical ingredients. This synthetic approach allows for precise tailoring to match specific matrix requirements, offering researchers a closer fit for their analytical needs.
B2251 is a high-organic-content sediment standard certified for TOC, total carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur. Elemental’s R&D team plans to expand the range during 2025, developing additional synthetic standards to support studies on carbonate removal techniques and to simulate the IRMS behaviour of previously sourced natural soils and sediments.
Synthetic standards offer key advantages over natural equivalents:
greater batch-to-batch consistency, fewer regulatory hurdles, and simplified global shipping thanks to the absence of export controls linked to irradiated natural soil.
Elemental Microanalysis also supplies a broad selection of synthetic soil standards certified for carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur content.

Optical Surfaces Ltd specialises in the production of high-performance toroidal mirrors, ideal for spectroscopic and imaging applications.
Toroidal mirrors feature an aspheric design, where the curvatures of horizontal and vertical axes differ. This unique structure enables toroidal mirrors to combine focusing and beam folding in a single element, making them particularly effective for systems requiring a small, focused spot. Their design enhances energy throughput, promotes compactness, and helps reduce overall costs. In addition, toroidal mirrors mitigate astigmatism, a common issue that arises when spherical mirrors are used off-axis.
With decades of expertise, Optical Surfaces Ltd manufactures toroidal mirrors using materials such as BK7, Zerodur, and fused silica, achieving surface accuracies as fine as λ/10 and surface quality of 10:5 scratch dig. The company’s skilled technicians can produce mirrors in various shapes and sizes, with dimensions reaching up to 500 mm. A wide range of high reflectance coatings is also available to meet specific application needs.

Pyroelectric receiver delivers quick and easy IR detection
Laser Components has launched the second-generation model in its Pyroelectric Receiver series – the PR No2 – offering a plug-and-play solution for fast, accurate measurements in lab environments.
Designed for use in applications such as FTIR, TDLAS, infrared fibre lasers, and supercontinuum sources, the PR No2 connects easily via standard power and signal outputs, streamlining setup and data acquisition.
This latest receiver combines a high-performance detector with upgraded electronics, allowing it to handle higher light intensities. As a result, users can obtain reliable readings across a broad spectral range, from ultraviolet (UV) through to terahertz (THz) frequencies.
Two models are available: the PR No2 IR, optimised for long-wave infrared with a KBr window, and the PR No2 THz, equipped with an HDPE window for THz measurements. The IR model features an extended 3 dB electronic bandwidth of at least 35 kHz (typically 50 kHz), while the THz version delivers a 3 dB bandwidth of 50 kHz.
