General description

Acetaminophen is a drug, which possesses pharmacological properties like antipyretic and analgesic property.
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

Acetaminophen may be used as a standard in the determination of acetaminophen in human serum or plasma samples using spectrophotometric technique. It may also be used as a standard in the estimation of acetaminophen in pharmaceutical formulations using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Analgesic.

Analysis Note

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