Independent Mineral Standards, the world’s leading supplier of iron ore Certified Reference Materials (CRMs), this week officially announced the launch of CrushedCRM™, a revolutionary new product specifically designed for large-mass analytical methods in gold exploration and mining.

Using a patent-pending manufacturing process, CrushedCRMs™ are the only CRMs specifically designed and certified for PhotonAssay™ and PAL. 

They can offer significant advantages over the use of Pulverised Gold CRMs:

  • Particle size matching: CrushedCRM™ replicates the particle size of crushed routine samples, ensuring a more accurate representation of the analysed material.
  • Improved precision and confidence: By mimicking routine samples, CrushedCRM™ allows for greater precision and confidence in analytical results.
  • Truly blind quality control: These CRMs can be submitted anonymously to the laboratory for analysis, providing a more robust quality control program.
  • Certification: CrushedCRM™ are certified for PAL, PhotonAssay™, or independently of any method.
  • Stability for PhotonAssay™: Engineered for stability over time, CrushedCRM™ is the ideal choice for PhotonAssay™ quality control.
  • Tests sample preparation process: CrushedCRM™ tests the entire laboratory sample preparation process, identifying any potential issues.

CrushedCRM™ are available in 3 different product formats (Pre-Mixed, Primary, Custom), dependent on your requirements.
