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.
Dexamethasone Acetate is a steroid used for the treatment of various diseases because of its anti-inflammatory and inmunosuppresor effects. It is a common component of ointments, creams, lotions, aerosols and microemulsions.
Dexamethasone acetate (Decadron-LA) belongs to the class of long-acting glucocorticoids. 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

Dexamethasone Acetate may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by various chromatography techniques.
Dexamethasone acetate is used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the quantification the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations using liquid chromatography (LC) technique.
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.

Analysis Note

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