Description

• General description: Isomalt is a disaccharide alcohol that is commonly used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations because of its beneficial characteristics such as the taste, mouth feel, low calorie content, acariogenicity, suitability to diabetics, high stability and low hygroscopicity.[1]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.
• Application: Isomalt may be co-extruded with paracetamol or hydrochlorothiazide in order to improve the tabletting properties and subsequently, the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations may be carried out using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).[1] It may also be used as an excipient for meloxicam active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations can be carried out using near infra-red (NIR) chemometric method.[2]
• 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.
