Technical Considerations for Reference Standards & QC Selection
These illustrated steps focus on how standards, controls and quality materials should be aligned with the analytical method and quality framework.
Define the analyte and quality frameworkSpecify analyte, matrix, concentration range, method purpose and the regulatory or quality context that governs the result.
- Clarify the target analyte, matrix and reportable range
- Identify the analytical method and acceptance criteria
- Note pharmacopoeial, regulatory or internal quality requirements
Select the appropriate standard typeChoose between CRM, analytical standard, control, calibrator or proficiency material based on traceability and method needs.
- Match the material type to the analytical objective
- Check traceability, assigned value and uncertainty needs
- Confirm matrix-match and commutability where relevant
Evaluate calibration and control designReview calibration levels, verification frequency, control strategy, reconstitution practice and documentation requirements.
- Set calibration levels and QC checkpoints
- Consider reconstitution, stability and routine handling
- Protect documented traceability and review readiness
Plan continuity and integrityAccount for storage, temperature, expiry, replacement timing, certificates and long-term continuity to protect method control.
- Check expiry dating and replacement lead times
- Plan temperature-controlled storage and transport
- Maintain certificate, CoA and lot-history records
