European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) Heparin low-molecular-mass for calibration Chemical Reference Substance (CRS) batch 6 has been established for use for determination of molecular mass distribution as prescribed in the Ph. Eur. monograph on Heparins, low-molecular-mass (0828). The fitness for use of the material was confirmed in a study conducted under the aegis of the EDQM’s Biological Standardisation Programme, a joint programme of the Council of Europe and the European Commission.
The batch was adopted by the European Pharmacopoeia Commission and is available in the online catalogue (code H0190000).
A publication detailing the composition of the material and the results of the confirmatory study is now available in the online journal Pharmeuropa Bio & Scientific Notes.
Pharmeuropa Bio & Scientific Notes is published by the EDQM and referenced on MedLine.
