Reference materials are indispensable for accurate analysis of hazardous substances in food and the environment. For organic substances, however, the dissemination of reference materials is hopelessly unable to catch up with today's rapidly proliferating analytical needs. To solve this problem, analytical techniques were improved to develop a method in which a single primary reference material could provide accurate quantitative measurements for a wide variety of organic compounds. In pursuit of this goal, we turned our attention to the 1H NMR method. We improved upon the method to allow precise comparisons of signal quantities from protons with different chemical shifts, enabling calibration at an acceptable level of uncertainty for a variety of organic reference materials using a primary reference material for protons. This result opens the prospect of highly efficient metrological traceability, reducing the required number of national reference materials to a minimal level.
