PRIMARY AND SECONDARY
STANDARDS
STANDARDS
standard means a material containing a substance of our interest with a known
concentration.
By using this standard we can find out the concentration of that substance in a new
material.
Therefore, primary standard serves the purpose of being the primary calibrator or
primary reference material.
1. Functions
Therefore, standard has the following uses in
Biochemistry lab
(a) To provide a reference using which we can
determine unknown concentration
(b) To standardize volumetric solutions
(c) Preparation of secondary standard
(d) To calibrate an instrument.
2. Types
Standards can be divided into two types:
1. Primary standard
2. Secondary standard
Primary standard
 From the name itself it is obvious that this is a standard which comes first. That’s
why the name is primary.
A primary standard is a chemical or reagent which has certain properties such
as
(a) It is extremely pure,
(b) Highly stable
(c) It is anhydrous
(d) It is less hygroscopic
(e) Has very high molecular weight
(f) Can be weighed easily
(g) Should be ready to use and available
(h) Should be preferably non toxic
(i) Should not be expensive
A primary standard material should be extremely pure
which means that
it should be a chemical of high grade of purity,
preferably 99.98%.
In a chemistry lab you will come across chemicals of
different grade of purity.
If you check the label you will notice a number with
percentage termed as
purity. So when a chemical has purity of 99.98% or more
it is a suitable
material to be considered for primary standard.
Secondary standard
 From the name itself it is obvious that this is a standard which comes second.
That’s why the name is secondary.
 A secondary standard is used by standard laboratories such as companies
involved in preparation of reagents, kits or laboratories responsible for
producing quality control material for other labs.
 They use primary standard as
the primary calibrator or primary reference material.
 Secondary standard in turn
is used for the purpose of calibration of control material in smaller lab for
analysis of unknown concentration of a substance.
 So basically, secondary standard serves the purpose of external quality control for
smaller labs. This makes it essential that the secondary standard must first be
standardized against the primary standard.
 A secondary standard is a chemical or reagent which has certain
properties such as
(a) It has less purity than primary standard
(b) Less stable and more reactive than primary standard
(c) But its solution remains stable for a long time
(d) Titrated against primary standard
