General description

Saccharin Sodium is used as a sweetening and flavoring agent in food products and beverages. It is also used for masking unpleasant taste in pharmaceutical formulations such as tablets and powders. Its sweetening power is approximately 300 times more than sucrose.


Certified pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to in-house working standards.

Application

Saccharin Sodium may be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in pharmaceuticals by continuous flow spectrophotometric technique.
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.

Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP (PhEur) and BP 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.
