Description

• 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. Imipenem belongs to the class of carbapenems, a beta-lactam antibiotic, effective against aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Carbapenems act by inhibiting the peptidoglycan synthesis involved in bacterial cell wall formation, thus causing the death of the target microorganism.[1]
• Application: Imipenem may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in biological samples[2][3] and pharmaceutical formulations by various analytical techniques.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Imipenem monohydrate is a broad spectrum B-lactam antibiotic. It is a member of the carbapenem class of "magic bullet" antibiotics for severe infections.
• Analysis Note: These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP 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.
