Description

General description

Fluvastatin sodium is a lipid-lowering drug that belongs to the group of compounds known as statins. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase that plays a key role in the cholesterol production. It is generally used to reduce plasma cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease.
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.

Application

Fluvastatin sodium may be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in bulk drug and pharmaceutical formulations by high performance liquid chromatography.

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.
