Pharmaceutical reference standards are highly purified or meticulously characterized materials used to evaluate the identity, strength, quality, and purity of substances involved in the development of pharmaceutical and medical products.

Clinivex provides reference standards that cater to a wide range of applications, including forensic and clinical toxicology, environmental analysis, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and analytical instruments. As a leading supplier of reference standards in Canada, Clinivex is recognized for offering products of exceptional purity.

Why Reference Standards Are Essential

Reference standards are crucial in analytical testing for determining the concentration of substances and detecting impurities. They are also indispensable for identity testing and performance verification of pharmaceutical products. Additionally, they play a vital role in assessing melting point standards, also known as calibrators. Clearly, reference standards are integral to ensuring the quality and efficacy of pharmaceutical and medical products.

Clinivex’s reference standards are categorized into the following types:

  • Standards for building blocks such as catalysts and monomers
  • Research tools for molecular biology
  • Standards for compounds like steroids and fatty acids
  • Natural product reference standards, including alkaloids and phenols

Categories of Reference Standards

Reference standards can be broadly classified into:

  • Chemical reference standards
  • Analytical reference standards

Regulatory Compliance

High-purity reference standards are essential for pharmaceutical applications, commercial products, and research studies. The FDA mandates stringent purity requirements for reference standards beyond primary sources. Given the limited availability of these standards in the Canadian pharmaceutical market, it is crucial to verify that any reference standards you purchase comply with regulatory standards.
