Magnesium stearate is commonly utilized as a lubricant in pharmaceutical formulations to avoid the excipient blend from the formulation contents from sticking to the manufacturing equipment.
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.

Magnesium stearate may be used as an excipient for the manufacturing of atorvastatin drug and poloxamers. The determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations can be carried out by chromatography and colorimetric methods.

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.

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

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.
