About AccuStandard
 
Founded in 1986, AccuStandard has grown from two to the current team of 65 people.  The company started in a small business incubator co-sponsored by Yale University, The City of New Haven and the State of Connecticut at the former site of Olin Chemical Company in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.  Outgrowing that facility, AccuStandard moved across town in 1998 into a fully modernized facility of 37,000 square feet of laboratories, office and storage space.  AccuStandard is now one of the leading companies in the field of Chemical Reference Standards. 
AccuStandard ships products to over 108 countries and maintains a distributor network in 65 of those countries.  Since its beginning, the product line has grown to include over 11,000 Reference Standard products and twice that number of special formulations which have been developed for specific customer needs.  Standards include those for analysis of the most important EPA Methods, Pesticide Residue Screening, Flame Retardants, Biofuels, Plastic Additives, Dyes, Explosives, UOP and ASTM Methods and up-graded products for PIANO and Physical Property analyses. AccuStandard

The company is renowned for its recognition and speedy introduction of Standards to the market place.  The company’s strong Synthesis Department allows the synthesis of important and unique products and product lines.  Featured, also in its history of firsts, are all of the 209 congeners of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 205 out of the 209 congeners of Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) as well as many halogenated dioxins and dibenzofurans, PAHs and pesticides.

Among the more recent introductions are the hydroxy and methoxy PBDE congeners as well as mixed bromo/chloro hydroxy and methoxy diphenyl ethers,  fluorinated PBDE congeners (used as internal standards), organophosphate flame retardants, biofuels, plastic additives (AccuStandard authored a CRC Press Handbook), EPA Method 535 pesticide derivatives and previously unavailable explosives.

AccuStandard’s quality system is accredited to ISO Guide 34 in addition to ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025.

AccuStandard owes its success in large part to the excellence, loyalty and dedication of its staff, and we look forward to serving our customers for many years to come
