| 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. Benzaldehyde is an important flavoring agent after vanillin. It is usually liberated from a cyanogenic glycoside such as amygladin, which is found in fruit kernels. |
| 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. |
