What quality control assays are typically done on Product A4978, Alendronate sodium trihydrate?
The assays typically done on Product No. A4978 are appearance, solubility, elemental analysis for carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen (CHN) and proton NMR (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. The results of these assays may be found on the certificate of analysis for each lot.
How should I dissolve Product A4978, Alendronate sodium trihydrate?
This product is soluble in water at a concentration of 10 mg/mL.
I see that Product A4978, Alendronate sodium trihydrate, is a trihydrate. How was the water content determined?
Our supplier typically determines the water content by a loss on drying. We have not tested the water content in our labs here at Sigma by that method; we typically confirm the supplier’s value by CHN (elemental analysis for carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, comparing the measured values to the theoretical values for the trihydrate).
How do I find price and availability?
