Since its inception in 1981, VHG has been a beacon of excellence in the analytical testing landscape. Evolving from an independent laboratory to a pioneer in manufacturing high-purity calibration standards, VHG has continually set the standard for quality and precision.
A Legacy of Quality Assurance
In 1984, VHG expanded its horizons by venturing into the commercial manufacture of high-purity single and multi-element calibration standards for spectroscopic instrumentation. This marked the beginning of a journey towards excellence, driven by a commitment to accuracy and reliability.
Joining Forces with LGC Standards
In 2012, VHG found a fitting partner in LGC Standards, a global leader in reference materials and proficiency testing schemes. This strategic acquisition bolstered VHG’s capabilities, allowing it to tap into LGC Standards’ vast portfolio of over 100,000 products and 40 proficiency testing schemes spanning various sectors.
Introducing VHG’s Proficiency Testing Program (PTP)
Central to VHG’s commitment to quality assurance is its Proficiency Testing Program (PTP), meticulously designed to verify the performance of analytical testing laboratories. The PTP serves as a vital tool for monitoring analytical performance against Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), ensuring unparalleled accuracy and reliability.
Modern Solutions for Modern Challenges
VHG’s PTP is not just a program; it’s a testament to innovation and adaptability. With an entirely modern, internet-based system, laboratories can now enjoy prompt responses to their analytical results. The “Open” format allows for the purchase of Proficiency Testing samples and submission of results at any time, ensuring convenience and efficiency.
Comprehensive Proficiency Testing Samples
VHG’s Proficiency Testing samples cover a wide spectrum of analytical parameters, including:
- Elements in Oil by ICP or RDE
- Elements in Lube Oil by XRF
- Kinematic Viscosity in Oil
- Lead (Pb) in Isooctane by XRF
- Particle Count (for ISO 11171)
- Sulfur (S) in Petroleum Products
Each sample is meticulously crafted to challenge laboratories and provide actionable insights into their analytical capabilities.
