Environmentally relevant microplastic reference materials (microplastic standards) with known quantities and a defined particle size distribution, maintaining less than 20% relative standard deviation per dosage. Suitable for microscopy, spectroscopy, and pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Each sample is uniquely prepared to meet your specifications, with data based on four subsamples from each individual sample, presented in a comprehensive certificate of analysis (COA).
Our microplastic beads are sourced from external suppliers and suspended in solution at Microplastic Solution according. The concentration of beads is adapted to your requirement and quantified at high detail.
Beads (10-30, 40-60 and 100-140 µm) are available only as EasyMP™ in ethanol (95 vol%.) solution. A single 30 mL or 100 mL sample provides numerous dosages; ideal for supporting a broad range of experiments. All EasyMP™ samples are uniquely tailored to your specifications and come with a comprehensive certificate of analysis (COA), which includes both treated and raw data. The COA can be accessed via the weblink provided upon sample completion or by scanning the QR code on the sample label.

Reviews
The material was successfully identified using Raman spectroscopy and helped me critically to measure the microplastics retention rate in my methods.
Pippetes gave the right amount of material as stated in the excel sheet. The guidelines were easy to follow, and Oscar helped along with the process. The material performed well during filtration, stereoscopic observations, and had clear Raman spectra.
