Analysis Note

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

Application

Benzethonium Chloride may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by chromatography techniques.
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

Benzethonium Chloride, a quaternary ammonium drug, exhibits anti-infective, antiseptic and anticancer activities. It is commonly used in various commercial applications including eye and nasal drops, soaps, mouthwash, and cosmetics.
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.

Mesangial cells subject to high extracellular glucose concentrations, as occur in hyperglycaemic states, are unable to down regulate glucose influx, resulting in intracellular activation of deleterious biochemical pathways. A high expression of GLUT1 participates in the development of diabetic glomerulopathy.
