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.
Orlistat is a specific lipase inhibitor derived from lipostatin, which is naturally produced by Streptomyces toxytricini. Lipase inhibition induced by orlistat reduces the absorption of dietary fat, thereby contributing to caloric deficit.

Application

Orlistat may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in plasma samples and pharmaceutical formulations by high performance liquidchromatography techniques.
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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Orlistat, used in obesity research, is a pancreatic lipase inhibitor that acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract to inhibit lipase.

Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP and BP primary standards, where they are available.

Other Notes

Solution is not completely clear, small particles may remain floating.
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.
