To ensure the accuracy and reliability of these methods, certified reference materials (CRMs) are essential. The new certified reference material ERM-AE202 has been developed to assess the distillation step and ensure the accuracy of isotopic measurements. ...
The CRM is a cooked rice powder certified for its mass fraction of cereulide that supports laboratories to validate LC-MS/MS methods for the quantification of cereulide in food matrices based on ISO 18465; it can also serve for quality control purposes, i.e. method performance verification or construction of control charts. ...
DNA barcoding uses a short section from a specific gene on the mitochondrial DNA that are compared to reference sequences to identify the fish species. EURM-023 contains powder processed from one fillet of one single fish. ...
We are proud to announce that the Joint Research Centre has launched a new online catalogue for our certified reference materials! HOME | Certified Reference Materials catalogue of the JRC: https://crm.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ Please check it out to discover the latest news, order information as well as product information of the ...
The ethanol obtained undergoes further sample preparation prior to measurement. The new certified reference material ERM-AE201 is an ethanol (ca. 96 % vol.) intended for quality control and the assessment of method performance. It serves to check the step of preparation of alcohol samples for SNIF-NMR measurements and the performance of the analytical systems ...
The JRC has developed, ERM-DA487/IFCC, a new certified reference material with universal characteristics to boost accuracy in coeliac disease testing, leading to better diagnosis and treatment for patients. ...
To enable the monitoring of the origin of proteins, the JRC released a new certified reference material (CRM) ERM-AD482k. The European Union Reference Laboratory for Animal Proteins (EURL-AP), hosted by the Centre Wallon de Recherches Agronomiques in Gembloux, Belgium, developed and validated a DNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for ...
As part of this partnership, KISMEC will be able to refer certified drone pilots to Terra Drone Agri, ensuring a continuous flow of talent aligned with the company’s recruitment needs and industry standards. Terra Drone Agri has hired 8 skilled drone pilots referred by KISMEC, who are now actively working within the company. ...
From routine blood tests to early disease detection, clinical reference materials are essential to timely and accurate diagnoses. The JRC has now developed ERM-AD457k/IFCC, a new certified reference material (CRM) for aspartate transaminase (AST), an enzyme found in the liver, kidneys, muscles, and heart. ...
Scientists from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) have taken a significant step towards improving the safety of consumer products containing nanomaterials with the release of two new certified reference materials (CRMs) for nanomaterial testing. These CRMs, specifically titanium dioxide (ERM-FD104) and barium sulfate (ERM-FD105) powders ...
The European Commission's Joint Research Centre has developed a new certified reference material, ERM-BD519, to combat milk fat adulteration. It consists of anhydrous milk fat that is certified for the relative mass fraction of triglycerides and cholesterol, providing laboratories with a reliable tool to support the implementation of ISO ...
The Joint Research Centre (JRC) is pleased to announce the release of EURM-014k, a certified reference material (CRM) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 by reverse transcription (digital) polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). ...
The JRC produced two dried fish powders CRMs, EURM®-021 and EURM®-022, for the species Pollachius pollachius (pollack) and Pollachius virens (saithe), to help combatting food fraud. These CRMs allow verifying correct labelling of fresh fish and fish products, following Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013. Food fraud, like mislabelling and substitution of fish and fish products, has repeatedly ...
