Starna standards provide “evidence of control” that has become an absolute necessity as indeed has the use of Certified Reference Materials with a defined traceable path to national or internationally recognised primary materials or procedures. See for example http://www.starna.co.uk/ukhome/d_ref/f_ref/scientistarticle.html.

This product appears to have been changed from the hydrocarbon to a polymeric fluorescence standard for safety reasons in very recent times. The author’s work has shown discrepancies in measurement from those shown on data sheet and conclusions given in the text probably need to be revisited.
