Overview
SPI Supplies offers analytical reference samples of the principal asbestos fiber types for laboratories performing regulatory asbestos identification and fiber counting by TEM, SEM, or polarized light microscopy. The set covers chrysotile from two geographic sources (Rhodesian and Canadian), amosite, crocidolite, and anthophyllite, the fiber types most commonly required for method validation and quality-control comparison in environmental and occupational asbestos testing. These standards are also used alongside the SPI-Chem asbestos index grids for TEM fiber counting protocols.
Fiber Type Standards
Individual analytical standard samples of Chrysotile A (Rhodesian), Chrysotile B (Canadian), Amosite, Crocidolite, and Anthophyllite asbestos are supplied for method validation and quality-control comparison. Each is sold as a discrete reference sample matched to a single fiber type.
