General description

Dextran 40 Calibration is a USP reference standard designed for chromatographic system calibration, particularly in SEC and GPC assays. It helps establish molecular weight calibration curves for the quality control of polysaccharide-based substances.

The USP biologics carbohydrates category includes a variety of carbohydrate-based substances that are essential in the development and manufacturing of therapeutic products. These carbohydrates play crucial roles in biological processes and are often utilized as excipients, stabilizers, or active ingredients in pharmaceuticals. The USP provides comprehensive standards, reference materials, and analytical procedures to ensure the identity, quality, purity, and consistency of carbohydrate therapeutics throughout their lifecycle.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.

Application

Dextran 40 Calibration USP Reference standard, intended for use in specified quality tests and assays as specified in the USP compendia. Also, for use with USP monographs such as:
  • Dextran 40
