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.

Application

Azithromycin may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in plasma/serum samples and pharmaceutical formulations by various chromatography techniques.

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Azithromycin dihydrate is a macrolide antibiotic, azalide subclass. It binds to the 50S subunit of the 70S bacterial ribosomes and inhibits RNA-dependent protein synthesis in bacterial cells. Azithromycin also has anti-immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory properties, which make it useful in treating cystic fibrosis.

Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP (PhEur) and BP primary standards, where they are available.

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.
