Viitevalmisteensa

Viitevalmisteensa is a Finnish linguistic form that functions as the possessive of viitevalmiste, meaning “their reference preparation.” In regulatory and technical texts, viitevalmisteensa refers to the reference preparation belonging to or produced by a particular organization, laboratory, or person. The underlying term viitevalmiste describes a material or solution with a well characterized composition used to calibrate, validate, and control analytical methods, thereby providing traceability to (national or international) standards.

A viitevalmiste is designed to enable accurate quantification in analytical chemistry, pharmacology, and related fields. It is characterized by defined purity or concentration, a documented manufacturing or purification process, and a certified value with an associated uncertainty. The value is tied to a traceability chain that links measurements to accepted standards. Viitevalmisteita can take the form of primary reference materials, secondary reference materials, or standard solutions, and they are accompanied by certificates of analysis or similar documentation.

Production and verification involve rigorous characterization, meticulous documentation, and lot-specific release testing. Each lot receives a unique identifier, stability data, and clear storage and handling instructions to preserve integrity. Usage includes instrument calibration, method validation, quality control, and proficiency testing, ensuring that analytical results remain comparable across time and laboratories.

Quality systems and regulatory frameworks often govern the handling of viitevalmisteita, with laboratories seeking accreditation (for example, ISO 17025) and alignment with guidelines for reference materials (including standards for traceability and uncertainty assessment). Viitevalmisteensa, as a possessive form, thus denotes the ownership or responsibility for a laboratory’s reference preparation within such contexts.
