Description

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.
Colchicine is a drug used for the treatment of gout and certain rheumatic and nonrheumatic conditions. It is the major alkaloid in the plant Colchicum autumnale (meadow saffron).

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.
Colchicine may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of colchicine in human plasma at therapeutic concentrations by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method.
