Quality consumables count in testing, SATRA says
15/06/2018
In a recent statement, it said sales of these items during the first four months of 2018 were 30% higher than in the same period in 2016. This growth is evidence that many test laboratories around
the world acknowledge the importance of using high-quality reference materials and consumable items to carry out these tests, SATRA said.
“The importance of using the appropriate reference materials and consumables is often overlooked,” said SATRA chief executive, Austin Simmons. “SATRA has identified a global need for properly certified and traceable reference consumables, and has extended its range and customer
base accordingly. It is not enough to have an appropriate and correctly calibrated test machine if the reference materials used for the testing are of poor quality or do not meet the specifications of the test method; these could mask a serious safety issue.”
