We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Reference Materials",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Plate reader validation with calibration product from
Starna Scientific, which we summarised at the time by saying "A calibration product from Starna allows users of plate readers to validate their measurements for absorbance and wavelength accuracy across the UV and visible spectrum".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Certified reference materials for Near InfraRed from
Starna Scientific: "Starna's Technical Division has discovered 13 certified and traceable peak values using a new material suitable for the Near InfraRed (NIR) region of the spectrum".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Open Mind (Learning/HR)
concerning its E-learning products
- take a look at Comprehensive guidance on e-learning requirements
which says: "Open Mind is offering organisations guidance and advice on finding the right e-learning solutions for their training need".
Take a look also at the news release from Open Mind Technologies UK, Learning resources on trial basis,
as well as Reference spectrophotometer in calibration lab from Starna Scientific,
and Micro-plate reader for UV-visible measurements from Starna Scientific.
