Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the US and EP primary standards, where they are available.

Application

Dexpanthenol may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations using high-performance liquid chromatography technique.
These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

General description

Dexpanthenol is an alcohol analog of pantothenic acid and an important component of parenterals, local cosmetic preparations and multi-vitamins. It has as much biological activity as pantothenic acid and is found to be stable in aqueous solution.
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.
