| 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. Betamethasone belongs to the corticosteriod family of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It exhibits anti-inflammatory activity and hence is used in the manufacture of various finished pharmaceutical products and is also employed as a starting material to manufacture other APIs that are related to this steroid family. |
| 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. |
