Microplastics

Microplastics are plastic particles ranging in size from five millimetres (5,000 microns) to one nanometre (or a thousandth of a micron). They are also the latest – and possibly the biggest - emerging environmental contaminant to impact the Earth: present in every ecosystem on our planet, and threatening to colonise our food and water, as well as our bodies.

Microplastic regulation and testing are in their infancy, however, because both have been hampered until now by a lack of high-quality microplastic reference materials. Without microplastic standards, it is next to impossible for researchers and analytical scientists to arrive at consistent and unified ways of working, and for regulators to develop meaningful microplastic guidelines.

In this context, LGC Standards' new range of microplastic reference materials below really is a gamechanger - featuring polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) standards in five different sizes, as well as nylon (N66) and polyester (PET) fibres.

Certified to ISO/IEC 17025 and accompanied by comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COAs), the new standards are expertly designed to bring seamless harmonisation across microplastics testing – whilst also addressing future regulation and empowering you to stay ahead, drive innovation, and confidently meet emerging regulatory demands.
