Description

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.
