Dear Olivier, To order these reference materials you need to contact with USGS ref material team through their webpage. However the distribution of reference materials was paused for some time. See message below here that I got from them this October. regards Valentina > Hello Valentina, > > Thank you for your interest in the USGS Geochemical Reference Materials (GRM) project <https://www.usgs.gov/centers/gggsc/science/development-usgs-geochemical-reference-materials?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects>. Sales of existing GRMs are suspended until further notice while we update documentation to comply with the latest internal quality assurance standards. Production of new GRMs is similarly suspended. We are unable to say when this internal process will be completed. It could take several months or longer. > > If you have any concerns, comments, or questions, please direct them to our USGS Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center at g3grm@usgs.gov <mailto:g3grm@usgs.gov>. > > Thank you, > Christy Ryan > USGS - Menlo Park, CA > > Dear Sir/ Madamewe would like to order the references materials BCR2-G and GSD-1G for new LA-ICP-MS lab in Institute of earths Sciences in University Grenoble Alpes, France.
