A Global Manufacturer of NIST traceable standards for the calibration of analytical instruments
High-Purity Standards (HPS) was founded in 1990 by internationally known chemist, Dr. Theodore Rains, after his retirement from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In 2001, Connie Hayes joined her late father as VP of Finance and eventually accepted the position of CEO – a role she still holds today. We proudly serve the scientific community with high quality spectrometric standards and reference materials for the calibration of instruments, including, but not limited to, AAS, IC, ICP, ICP-MS, GC, and GC-MS. However, we are continually adding new products and examining existing products to better serve your analysis.
We are located in North Charleston, SC where we manufacture our products in our 18,000 square foot facility. Our labs are designed to meet the specific needs of our customers by way of our ever-expanding quality system. Our Total Quality System was developed with the help and assessment of independent agencies. We are certified by Perry Johnson Registrars with ISO 9001:2015 and by ANAB with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 17034:2016. This ensures that our products are suitable for any customer regardless of their requirements. Our products appeal to anyone with a desire to calibrate their lab instrumentation before sample analysis for best results. We effectively deliver our products to customers around the world through our distributor partners.
