In the world of analytical chemistry, accuracy and traceability aren’t optional—they’re essential. Laboratories conducting environmental, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, or food testing rely on precise calibration standards to produce defensible data. That’s where CPAchem Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) come in—and now, through Graham B Jackson Pty Ltd (GBJPL), these high-precision materials are readily available in Australia.
Whether you’re calibrating ICP-OES for trace metals or preparing standards for GC-MS pesticide analysis, CPAchem testing in Australia offers a globally recognized solution backed by rigorous quality systems.
Who is CPAchem?
CPAchem is a Bulgaria-based global leader in the production of certified reference materials and calibration standards. The company supplies over 15,000 products worldwide, serving laboratories in more than 100 countries.
Their core product lines include:
- ICP and ICP-MS calibration standards
- AAS standards
- Ion chromatography solutions

- Pharmaceutical, environmental, and food-grade CRMs
CPAchem is accredited to ISO 17034 (Reference Material Producers) and ISO/IEC 17025 (Testing and Calibration Laboratories), ensuring each product meets the highest level of traceability and technical validation.
Why Reference Materials Matter in Today’s Laboratories
The role of certified reference materials in maintaining analytical accuracy cannot be overstated:
| Laboratory Activity | Role of CRMs |
| Instrument Calibration | Ensure the response of an instrument is linear and accurate |
| Method Validation | Confirm precision, accuracy, and repeatability |
| QA/QC Monitoring | Detect drift, bias, or errors in analytical workflows |
| Regulatory Compliance | Meet ISO, NATA, EPA, or TGA standards |
Using CPAchem certified reference materials allows Australian laboratories to meet both international and local standards, while ensuring long-term data integrity.
Key Benefits of CPAchem CRMs from Graham B Jackson Pty Ltd (GBJPL)
1. ISO-Compliant Traceability
All CPAchem CRMs are accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis that includes:
- Exact concentration and uncertainty values
- Traceability to SI units and NIST standards
- Homogeneity and stability testing data
This documentation is crucial for audits, especially under NATA or ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.
2. Ultra-Low Uncertainty Levels
CPAchem is known for producing CRMs with extremely low expanded uncertainty, often in the range of 0.3–0.5%, thanks to:
- High-purity raw materials
- Gravimetric preparation with precision balances (readability up to 0.001 mg)
- In-house cleanroom environments
This level of control gives labs confidence in the precision of every test.
3. Custom-Made Standards
Through Graham B Jackson Pty Ltd (GBJPL), CPAchem offers custom formulation services—ideal for complex matrices or niche regulatory requirements. Need a multi-element mix with unusual concentrations or an exotic solvent base? CPAchem can deliver.
Examples include:
- Multi-ion calibration standards for seawater
- Custom pesticide blends for food residue testing
- CRM mixtures for API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) quantification
4. Matrix-Matched Standards for Environmental Testing
CPAchem produces matrix-matched solutions (e.g., standards in acidified matrices, seawater, or wastewater simulants) that reflect real-world sample conditions. This enhances:
- Analytical recovery accuracy
- Matrix effect compensation
- Regulatory compliance for EPA, ISO 5667, and local Water Boards
GBJPL supports you in selecting the most relevant matrix for your ICP, AAS, or chromatography workflows.
