Whether you’re analyzing environmental contaminants, pharmaceutical purity, or the trace composition of alloys, one thing holds true: elemental accuracy isn’t optional—it’s everything.
In labs across Australia, scientists and quality managers are tasked with delivering results that are not only precise but also defensible, repeatable, and regulatory-grade. And that begins with one critical tool: the right ICP calibration standards.
This is where the collaboration between Graham B Jackson Pty Ltd (GBJPL) and Inorganic Ventures (IV) delivers game-changing impact—pairing world-class certified reference materials (CRMs) with local expertise and seamless support.
ICP: The Heart of Modern Elemental Analysis
Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) spectroscopy is a workhorse in modern labs, offering:
Ultra-trace detection (down to parts per trillion)
Simultaneous multi-element analysis
Broad dynamic range
Two key techniques lead the charge:
ICP-MS (Mass Spectrometry) – Ideal for ultra-low detection levels and isotopic analysis
ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry) – Great for high-throughput, multi-element quantification
But these powerful systems are only as accurate as the standards they’re calibrated with.
CRMs: The Unseen Backbone of Analytical Trust
A Certified Reference Material (CRM) isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the anchor of analytical validity. High-quality CRMs:
Ensure metrological traceability (often to NIST standards)
Validate instruments and methods
Provide legally defensible data
Eliminate batch-to-batch uncertainty
Support audits, compliance, and long-term reproducibility
In short, CRMs are the bridge between high-tech instruments and real-world confidence in results.
Inorganic Ventures: Where Purity Meets Precision
Inorganic Ventures is not just another CRM supplier—they’re global leaders in ICP standards. Here’s what sets them apart:
NIST-Traceable CRMs: Every product is tied back to a recognized measurement standard, ensuring cross-lab and international comparability.
ISO 17034 & 17025 Accreditations: Industry gold standards for CRM production and testing.
Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis: Detailing uncertainty, traceability, and storage guidelines for complete transparency.
Custom Capabilities: From rare element mixes to highly specific concentrations—tailored to your method, your matrix, your spec.
IV’s catalog is massive. But more importantly, it’s curated with a chemist’s mindset, not just a manufacturer’s.

Who Benefits Most from GBJ + IV ICP Standards?
Environmental labs – Get reliable trace detection of heavy metals in air, soil, and water
Pharma & life sciences – Validate ultra-pure drug components and cleaning protocols
Industrial & mining – Assess ore purity, control waste streams, monitor process metals
Food & beverage – Guarantee product safety and compliance
Research institutions – Ensure reproducibility across multi-year studies and collaborations
If your lab relies on data to drive decisions, reduce risk, or stay compliant—you need CRMs you can trust.
Real Risk, Real ROI
Let’s be clear: cheap, uncertified standards are a gamble.
The cost of:
A failed batch
Regulatory non-compliance
Retesting and revalidation
Reputational damage
…far outweighs the minor savings from cutting corners on calibration.
With GBJ + IV, you’re investing in peace of mind, not just product.
Conclusion: A Partnership Built on Precision
In a field where every atom counts, the tools you choose matter. The Graham B Jackson and Inorganic Ventures alliance ensures Australian labs have local access to internationally recognized ICP calibration standards—with the documentation, traceability, and support to back it all up.
