Application

Propylparaben may be used as certified reference material for the quantification of the analyte in food samples and pharmaceuticals using chromatography techniques.

General description

Propylparaben (PP) belongs to the class of parabens, commonly used along with methylparaben (MP) since they exhibit synergistic effects.
This certified reference material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034. This CRM is traceable to primary material from an NMI, e.g. NIST or NMIJ.
Certified content by quantitative NMR incl. uncertainty and expiry date are given on the certificate.
