Application

• ICH Q3D elemental impurities testing guidelines: A study conducted rapid screening of pharmaceutical products for elemental impurities using a high-resolution portable energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. This method adheres to ICH Q3D guidelines for oral dosage forms, offering an efficient tool for routine quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing (Zhu et al., 2023).
• Elemental impurity analysis for pharmaceuticals: Research focused on the human health risk assessment of total chromium impurities in cough syrups. This study aligns with ICH Q3D regulations, emphasizing the need for rigorous testing of oral pharmaceuticals to ensure consumer safety, particularly regarding the toxic potential of elemental impurities (Jurowski and Krosniak, 2024).
• Pharmaceutical trace metal contamination standards: The determination of ICH-Q3D elemental impurity leachables in glass vials was explored using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). This research underscores the importance of assessing leachable heavy metals in drug packaging to prevent contamination of oral drug products (Breckenridge et al., 2023).

Preparation Note

For the preparation of this CRM only materials of highest purity were used.
