@Iron Vett , thank you for the question.
Since I am not accredited laboratory, it is quite hard to get certified reference material. Hence I use raws I tested in the past. Because they usually contain some impurities, I need to purify them to get the standard.
The most convenient way to do so is to use flash chromatography. It is a separation technique commonly used to purify organic compounds in research laboratories. It works on similar principle as HPLC. The main difference is quantity of material you can separate. HPLC usually works with micrograms, preparative flash chromatography works with up to gram quantities.
Preparative chromatography uses bigger columns and higher solvent flow rates. After the target compound is separated from the impurities (you see them as signal coming from UV or ELSD detector), it is separately collected, solvents are evaporated, the compound is dried to constant weight and the purity is confirmed by HPLC and/or GC. Then I use it as a standard.
To get an idea how such chromatography looks like:
Biotage - Flash Purification
It is not accredited practice, but the results you get are the same. It is broadly used in research where you often work with new compounds which certified reference materials simply does not exist.
