The British Pharmacopoeia (BP), from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), sets the standard for bringing regulatory expertise and scientific rigour together to underpin patient health. Its main purpose is to ensure the quality of medicines by providing detailed specifications, methods of analysis, and reference materials for pharmaceutical research, drug discovery and development, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and clinical research.

What are British Pharmacopoeia Chemical Reference Substances (BPCRS)?

BPCRS are highly characterised standards that ensure the highest levels of pharmaceutical quality assurance. These substances, rigorously tested and authenticated, serve as essential reference materials for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. By confirming the identity and purity of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and impurities, the British Pharmacopoeia standards ensure accuracy and reliability in pharmaceutical testing. These standards serve as a fundamental basis for comparison, enabling manufacturers, regulators, and researchers to assess the quality and uniformity of drug products with exceptional accuracy and certainty.

Why choose BP chemical reference standards?

The British Pharmacopoeia Chemical Reference Substance (BPCRS) are to be used in an assay or quantitative determination outlined in the British Pharmacopoeia or British Pharmacopoeia (Veterinary) monographs for the following applications:

• Ensuring quality and potency of pharmaceutical products.
• Calibration of analytical instruments in pharmaceutical analysis.
• Validation of analytical methods for drug testing and quality control.
• Identification and quantification of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and impurities.
• Comparison of test results across different laboratories for consistency and reliability.
• Supporting compliance with pharmaceutical regulatory requirements.
• Facilitating research and development of new drugs through standardised materials.
• Enhancing accuracy and precision of analytical measurements in pharmaceutical labs.
• Establishing uniformity and consistency in pharmaceutical formulations.
• Serving as benchmarks for development and validation of new pharmaceutical products and processes.
