General description

The lactose standard 5% is a solid standard, prepared gravimetrically from high-purity reagents. It is analyzed in an ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 accredited calibration laboratory. Its water content of 5% is measured by the coulometric Karl Fischer oven method at 150°C with an extraction time of 300 seconds, in accordance with ISO 760.

Please visit ISO certificates and Site Quality Self-Assessments to access the current certificates of accreditation.

Download your certificate at http://www.sigma-aldrich.com to view certified values, including uncertainty and expiry date.

Application

Lactose standard 5% is used as a certified reference material (CRM) for both the coulometric and volumetric Karl Fischer water determinations, with or without the Karl Fischer oven. It is particularly suitable when the working medium used consists of solvents mixtures in which sodium tartrate dihydrate is slightly soluble. And it is used as an oven standard in the preferred temperature range of 140°C -190°C.

Features and Benefits

  • Available in a secure plastic bottle with the material subjected to stability and homogeneity studies, following ISO 17034 and ISO Guide 35
  • High-quality offering accurate and reliable results
  • Accompanied with a comprehensive and batch-specific certificate of analysis (CoA) for an effective quality management system
  • Measured and qualified in an ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 accredited laboratory

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
