General description

Calcium Acetate belongs to the group of calcium salts, widely used as phosphorus binders in patients with chronic renal failure.
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.

Alginate-chitosan pellets prepared by extrusion-spheronization technique exhibited fast drug dissolution. This study aimed to design sustained-release alginate pellets through rapid in situ matrix coacervation by chitosan during dissolution. Pellets made of alginate with chitosan and/or calcium acetate were prepared using
