Microplastics
The World’s First Microplastics Reference Materials. Our scientists have focused on these emerging global threats, and are excited to share Chiron MicroPrefs®, the first commercial microplastic reference material portfolio is designed to detect the six most abundant plastics in the environment and is available in a novel, easy-to-use tablet formulation.
Microplastics are tiny plastic pieces ranging from macro- to nano-sized particles that have become wide spread pollutants. These non-biodegradable particles accumulate in our surroundings and eventually in food and drinking water making them harmful to both the environment and human health.
What really matters to you:
- Easy-to-use tablet format
- Contains a defined number of particles of specified sizes
- Offered in irregular shapes to mimic microplastics found in nature
- Produced for counting particles in a sample
- Use MicroFT-IR, FT-RAMAN, or similar techniques
