Description

General description

Oxytocin identification is a USP reference standard specifically used to confirm the identity of oxytocin via chromatographic or spectroscopic methods. It is essential for regulatory compliance and quality assurance of oxytocin-containing drug products.

The USP biologics peptides category encompasses a diverse range of therapeutic peptides that are essential in managing various medical conditions. These peptides, typically consisting of amino acid sequences of 40 residues or less, are critical for the development of high-quality medicines. The USP provides comprehensive standards, reference materials, and analytical procedures to ensure the identity, quality, purity, and consistency of peptide therapeutics throughout their lifecycle.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) provides quality standards for biologics to ensure their safety, efficacy, and quality throughout the manufacturing process. These standards assist manufacturers in adhering to regulatory requirements and help safeguard public health by reducing risks associated with biologics.

Application

Oxytocin identification USP reference standard, intended for use in specified quality tests and assays as specified in the USP compendia. Also, for use with USP monographs such as:

• Desmopressin Acetate
• Oxytocin
