General description

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

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Levocetirizine dihydrochloride is a nonsedating type histamine H1-receptor antagonist; active isomer of cetirizine
Levocetirizine hydrochloride is a nonsedating antihistamine. It is a histamine H1-receptor antagonist, the active isomer of cetirizine. Levocetirizine has high bioavailability, high affinity for and occupancy of the H1 receptor.

Analysis Note

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