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. Monoethanolamine is majorly used in pharmaceutical formulations in the buffer systems, and emulsion preparations. It can also be used as a solvent for fats and oils and to synthesize many salts having therapeutic essence. |
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. |
