Folic acid Certified Reference Material (CRM) is supplied as a pharmaceutical secondary standard for analytical quality control, calibration, and method validation. Folic acid, a water-soluble B vitamin (vitamin B9), belongs to the folate family and is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations, dietary supplements, and fortified foods such as cereals and grains.

This reference material is traceable to recognized pharmacopeial standards including Ph. Eur. F0300000 and USP 1286005, supporting use in regulated laboratory environments. It is suitable for chromatographic analysis by HPLC and GC and may also be used in spectrophotometric and electrophoretic techniques for quantitative determination in pharmaceutical formulations and food matrices.

Folic acid CRMs are commonly used for pharmaceutical release testing, method development, food fortification analysis, and routine QA/QC applications. Secondary standards provide a convenient and cost-effective alternative to primary standards while maintaining traceability to authoritative references. Production and certification are performed in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025, and a certificate of analysis is available to support regulatory compliance and data integrity.

Shipping and Storage Notice
Please note that shipping and long-term storage conditions for certified reference materials may differ. Manufacturers determine the most appropriate shipping method based on product stability and shipping data. Some CRM standards may ship at ambient temperature even though recommended long-term storage conditions are refrigerated or frozen. This does not affect product integrity when handled according to manufacturer documentation.
