General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This product can replace highly toxic diluents in membrane preparation and thus aligns with "Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses". Click here for more information.
Certified pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to pharmacopeia primary standards
Triacetin is a triester of glycerol and acetic acid. It is commonly used as a biodiesel additive since it improves the properties of biodiesel such as viscosity, pour point and cloud point.

Analysis Note

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

Application

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.
