Description

General description

Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards. Residual Solvent - Acetonitrile is a CRM and Secondary Pharmaceutical Reference Standard, traceable and qualified against the corresponding Pharmacopeial standards. Sigma-Aldrich offers Fluka brand Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) for the analysis of Residual Solvents. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis offers details of the methodology and results of the qualification.

Application

These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Other Notes

This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.
