Method

Precision balances play a crucial role in establishing our reference standards. Their ability to measure with extreme accuracy ensures the reliability of results, thus guaranteeing the consistency and precision of the standards used in various fields such as science, pharmaceuticals, and research. These precise instruments enable the creation of reliable and reproducible standards, forming the foundations upon which many technological and scientific advancements rely.

Your standards are analyzed using a full range of Thermo-Fisher electronic instruments: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR, GC/MS, GC/FID, LC/DAD, LC/FLD, IC, Karl Fischer and others.

Since 2021, A2S has been manufacturing your pure and single element solutions thanks to its "Potion" production management system financed by the Nouvelle Aquitaine Region. A true "magic potion", it allows you to organize production, produce your reference materials and ensure their traceability.

Since the production of your mixtures is much more complex, an independent tool had to be set up: "Elixir".
