General description

Procaine hydrochloride is a synthetic compound that belongs to the class of local anesthetic drugs. It has a structure similar to the natural compounds that participate in nerve impulse transmission. It shows interaction with the cellular membranes causing membrane lipids to expand, membrane-bound calcium to displace and change the structure of the proteins that are responsible for regulating the cell permeability and shape.
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.
Procaine hydrochloride can be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceutical formulations by electrochemical, chemiluminescence, and spectrophotometric techniques.

Analysis Note

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

Other Notes

This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.
