| General description: | Succinic acid is a dicarboxylic acid, which is used primarily as an acidity regulator in the food and beverage industry. Pharmaceutically, it is usually used as a conjugate feeder acid to form succinate salt and as an excipient. 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. |
| 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. |
