Caffeine is an N-methyl derivative of xanthine and is involved in gastric acid secretion, diuresis, and stimulation of the central nervous system.[1]
• Application: Caffeine may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations,[1] blood plasma,[2] food, drinks, and herbal products[3] by chromatography techniques.
• Analysis Note: These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP (PhEur) and BP primary standards, where they are available.
• 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.
