General description

Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards. Myristyl Alcohol was used for filling the hollow interiors of gold nanocages in the fabrication of new theranostic system having unique feature of photoacoustic imaging. It was used in fabrication of temperature-regulated drug release system based on phase-change materials.

Application

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.
Values of analytes vary lot to lot.

Hydrolysis of tetradecyl betainate (B14), a fast-acting microbicidal amphiphilic quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) being an ester of betaine and tetradecanol, occurred after binding to Salmonella typhimurium, resulting in release of the water-soluble betaine portion and retention of the lipophilic tetradecanol.

Solid lipid particles were evaluated for their potential as a thermo-activated drug delivery system. Submicron-sized diphenylhexatriene (DPH)/myristyl alcohol particles were produced by an atomization/drying process and the release rate of DPH into sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solutions was measured.
