Application

Codeine monohydrate has been used as a standard in the quantitative analysis of codeine by using different types of protein assays like biuret, bicinchoninic acid (BCA), coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) , pyrogallol red–molybdate (PRM) assay, Lowry assay and benzethonium chloride (BEC) assay, while relating the effective response of the drug with the type of assay.
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.

Biochem/physiol Actions
