• Application: Tetracaine hydrochloride may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in bulk drug and pharmaceutical formulations by high performance liquid chromatography.[3][4][5][6]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Blocks voltage-sensitive release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum.
• Analysis Note: These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP (PhEur) and BP primary standards, where they are available.
