Microplastics
NOW INTRODUCING THE WORLD’S FIRST MICROPLASTICS REFERENCE MATERIALS

For frequently asked questions, click here.
Microplastics, ranging from macro to nano-sized particles, are pervasive pollutants that accumulate in our environment and enter food and water, posing risks to ecosystems and human health. Addressing this global challenge, our scientists introduced Chiron MicroPRefs®, the first commercially available microplastic reference materials. These standards, designed to detect the six most common plastics, come in an innovative tablet form for easy use. With Chiron MicroPRefs®, you can identify, characterize, and quantify microplastics using MicroFT-IR, FT-RAMAN, and other techniques. Join the effort against microplastic pollution by adopting these groundbreaking tools for comprehensive molecular testing and analysis.
