The batches obtained for standards defined as Quality Controlled Standards (QCSs) do not allow carrying out all the study requirements due to the limited size. However, they have been developed following the guidelines of ISO Guides Series 30, and the analytical method for quantification and assignment of purity is liquid chromatography coupled to ESI-MS/MS.
Custom concentrations, mixed-toxin formulations and contract purification are handled directly by our production team.
ISO 17034 is the international standard governing reference material producers. Accreditation requires an independent technical audit by an external accreditation body. It is not a self-declaration. CIFGA is a reference materials producer accredited by ENAC (Nº 2/PMR003) for a defined scope of marine biotoxins.
In practice, every CRM in the accredited listing carries a certified value traceable to SI units, with certified value determined by NMR and measurement uncertainty supported by homogeneity and stability studies using HPLC-MS/MS. For laboratories operating under ISO 17025, using a CRM from an accredited producer is the most auditable approach available.
Produced from natural biological sources using biotechnological processes.
Primary production — no redistribution of third-party materials.
Determined in-house, traceable to SI units.
Measurement uncertainty supported by HPLC-MS/MS, UV and fluorescence studies.
Certified value and uncertainty, defensible under ISO 17025 audit.
CIFGA supplies laboratories in over 40 countries. Shipping from Lugo means intra-EU deliveries carry no customs complications and arrive faster than equivalent shipments from North American suppliers, which is relevant for the significant volume of shellfish monitoring conducted under EU regulatory frameworks.
Custom requirements, including specific concentrations, mixed-toxin formulations, and contract purification, are handled through our tailored services, with technical support provided directly by the production and characterisation team.
Explore the full range of solutions we produce, from marine biotoxins to contract purification services.
Quality controlled standards and test kits for laboratories running chemical testing on textiles and garments according to REACH restrictions and recognised ISO methods.
Bespoke mixtures, on-demand concentrations and contract purification, developed by CIFGA’s analytical production team.
Research workflows rarely fit a standard catalogue. A method under development may need a mixture of analytes at ratios that do not exist commercially. A validation study may require a concentration outside the available range. A novel compound may need isolation and characterisation before it can be used as a working standard.
These are the situations CIFGA’s tailored services are built for. Using CIFGA’s biotechnology production infrastructure and analytical expertise, we design and produce custom standards, bespoke mixtures and on-demand analytical solutions to meet the specific requirements of your laboratory.

Analytical standards and contract services for pharmaceutical quality control, produced at our facility in Lugo, Spain and supplied to laboratories in over 40 countries.
Accurate mycotoxin analysis starts with the reference material behind it. CIFGA designs and produces Quality Control Standards and Certified Reference Materials for mycotoxin testing, certifying CRMs through a production process with full metrological traceability from source to Certificate of Analysis. A focused catalogue from a European primary producer.
This section includes those materials standing for the matrixes where the analytes of interest are usually present. It has been designed to check the behavior of the matrix with your method of analysis.
