Fluorescent Reference Materials - PCR, Point-of-care, ELISA & fluorimeter validation
Starna Scientifics’s Certified Reference Materials (CRM) for fluorescence spectroscopy have been specifically designed and developed for applications that require day-to-day validation and long term monitoring of fluorescence system responsivity.
Starna Fluorescent references are frequently used in the following types of system:
The measurable signal of fluorescent analytes can be impacted by a number of chemical and physical effects, such as quenching or self-absorption of the fluorescence emission, which may lead to departures from the expected concentration/emission relationships outside of a narrow range. Additionally, many fluorescent materials are susceptible to photobleaching, such that detectable signal may noticeably fade with repeated measurement.
Therefore, to ensure confidence in results, a stable and consistent point of measurement reference should be used minimise or remove the effects of these variables.
Where applicable, specific properties of fluorescent CRM can be made tracible to NIST Standard Reference Materials in our ISO/IEC 17025 calibration laboratory.
All fluorescent CRM are manufactured in our ISO 17034 accredited Reference Material Production facility.

- Urine analysers
- Flow microscopy
Product category: Spectrometers
Demountable Micro-Volume Cell (DMV-Bio Cell)
The DMV Bio-cell from Starna is the elegant solution to direct, accurate measurement of nucleic acids or proteins in low volume biological samples. The Bio-cell is compatible with any conventional UV spectrophotometer and its magnetic closure design facilitates rapid filling and emptying and easy cleaning, providing cost-effective, easy-to-use low-volume analysis. For those working in the regulated environment, Starna's expertise in cell technology is combined with Performance Qualification using specially developed Certified Reference Materials to give truly validated measurements and the ultimate confidence in results.
Direct low volume analysis of nucleic acids and proteins
Available with 2.5, 1.0 and 0.6 μl volumes
High accuracy and reproducibility
Validated measurements
Certified Reference Materials for OQ/PQ
Certified path length option
Compatible with all major UV/Visible spectrophotometers
Precision micro-machining techniques and advanced materials are used to create a patented high energy optical system, so that low volume samples can be measured accurately and reproducibly across a wide absorbance range. The DMV-Bio Cell is available in 0.5, 0.2 and 0.125 mm path lengths for direct measurement of sample volumes of less than 2.5 μl (down to 0.6 μl) for all life science applications. If required, these path lengths can be certified. Cells are available with Z heights of 8.5 mm or 15 mm to suit a wide range of instrument designs

Rectangular Cells
Rectangular cells are used for most UV/VIS routine analysis. By far the most common type of cell, they have two windows clear and conform to international standard dimension. The 10mm pathlength size should fit most instruments that use rectangular cells. Available pathlengths are from 1mm to 100mm. Check with your instrument manual to see if you need an adaptor for longer pathlength cells.
Standard Rectangular cells are the most commonly cells used. The have two polished windows and a full interior width used in most instruments.
