| Analysis Note: |
These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP and BP primary standards, where they are available. |
| Application: |
Lycopene may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by a liquid chromatography technique. |
| Application: |
These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: |
Antioxidant micronutrient of tomatoes associated with decreased risk for cancer and cardiovascular disease. Enhances gap juction communication between cells via upregulation of connexin 43 and reduces proliferation of cancer cells in culture. Inhibits cholesterol synthesis and enhances low-density lipoprotein degradation. |
