  • ALCM series H-a - Consumption Markers in Hair authentic (3 analytes)

  • Medidrug® ALCM Serie H-a 
    Authentic cut reference material for determination of alcohol consumption markers in hair, manufactured from hair of European alcoholic beverage consumers. It is appropriate for method development and validation as well as for internal quality control. Compared to milled or spiked hair samples our reference material can be washed too. This assures a comprehensive quality control for the entire analytical process. The yield of ethyl glucuronide extracts from these reference material is to be monitored (please see following information). The target values have been established within the bounds of the proficiency tests by the Society of Hair Testing SoHT in cooperation with the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) and MEDICHEM. The samples’ homogeneity has been controlled under repeatability conditions.

  • EtG H-d - Consumption Markers in Hair spiked (1 analyte)
  • Medidrug® EtG  H-d
    Gravimetrically spiked cut reference material in 11 levels for determination of ethyl glucuronide in hair, prepared from hair of European donors. The reference material is suitable for internal quality control of the determination of ethyl glucuronide in hair. The gravimetric value has been verified by the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing performing multiple determinations. Homogeneity of the samples is controlled under repetitive conditions
