Analysis Note

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

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.

General description

Sucrose is a disaccharide and a naturally occurring carbohydrate found in plants. It is available as a component of food and is widely used as an additive in food, confectionery, beverages and therapeutically in sugar pastes commonly used to promote wound healing. Sucrose is widely used in oral pharmaceutical formulations. In the powdered form, it serves as a dry binder or as a bulking agent and sweetener in chewable tablets and lozenges.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.
