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.
Acarbose is an oral antidiabetic drug, a glucosidase inhibitor used in the management of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).[1]

Application

Acarbose may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard in determining the concentration of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by chromatography techniques.[1][2][3]
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

Modified tetrasaccharide that acts as a reversible α -glucosidase inhibitor.

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.

HPLC-UV method detects 9 antioxidants like propyl gallate in food using a Discovery®

Protocols

Phenolic Antioxidants are added to polyers for controlling their degradation process. Irgafos 168, Irganox 1010, Ethanox 330, Irganox 1076, BHT, and Irgafos 168 are often used as antioxidants to prevent the degradation of polypropylene polymer formulations. This HPLC method is for the quantitation of an additive or mix of additives in a polymeric material.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
