Why single use conductivity standards are superior

Eliminating measurement inaccuracies

Traditional multi-use bottles risk contamination and measurement drift. Once opened, exposure to air introduces CO₂, which changes conductivity-especially when containers are only partially used and re-stored.

Minimise exposure to air and contamination

Maintain solution integrity until the moment of use

Compatible with magnetic stirrers for easy mixing and handling

Low-level conductivity standards

Precision at the lowest levels

We manufacture low-level verification standards-starting at just 1.3 µS/cm-to verify sensor performance where it matters most: close to the true conductivity of PW, UPW, or WFI.

Our low-level conductivity standards are:

Container sizes

Available in a range of container sizes, including single-use 30 mL bottles

Aqueous matrix

Produced in an aqueous matrix that matches pharmaceutical water, reducing matrix errors

NIST traceable

Fully traceable to NIST and supplied with individual ISO 17034 and ISO 17025 accredited Certificates of Analysis

Why Conductivity Standards Matter

The Benchmark for Water Testing

Conductivity Standards

Conductivity is a critical parameter for monitoring Ultrapure Water (UPW) and Water for Injection (WFI) in the pharmaceutical and life science industries.

At Altus Science, our independence and rigorous Quality Management System mean we deliver unbiased, aqueous NIST-traceable conductivity standards of the highest quality.

No matter which meter you use, our CRMs provide a reliable benchmark for instrument performance.
