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. L-Histidine is an essential amino acid, widely present at the active sites of enzymes. It binds to metal ions and may aid in the transport of copper. It also plays an important role for the binding of heme groups, macromolecules and phosphate groups in the binding sites of proteins.

Other Notes

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.
