About Quality Reference Material (QRMs)

Whether you are training new staff, verifying equipment, or testing new methods, inconsistencies and errors can be costly. In an industry where precision is critical, adhering to reliable standards is essential to your lab’s success. 

AOCS offers Quality Reference Materials (QRMs) to help maintain the accuracy and quality your lab requires. 

Our QRMs are rigorously analyzed through the AOCS Laboratory Proficiency Program (LPP), with each material accompanied by peer-reviewed reports, including consensus mean values, z-scores, and standard deviations. This ensures you're working with proven samples that meet your lab’s needs.
