| 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. Cyclohexane is a nonpolar, flammable liquid that belongs to the group of cycloalkanes. In general, cyclohexane is obtained by hydrogenation of benzene and predominately used in the nylon industry. It also finds application in pharmaceutical applications. |
| 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. |
