Niacin (nicotinic acid) Certified Reference Material (CRM) is supplied as a pharmaceutical secondary standard for analytical quality control, calibration, and method validation. Niacin, also known as vitamin B3 or pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, is an essential water-soluble vitamin commonly used in dietary supplements, fortified foods, and pharmaceutical formulations.

This reference material is traceable to recognized pharmacopeial standards including Ph. Eur. N0700000 and USP 1461003, supporting use in regulated laboratory environments. It is suitable for chromatographic analysis by HPLC and GC, as well as spectrophotometric techniques, enabling accurate quantitative and qualitative determination in pharmaceutical release testing, method development, and routine QA/QC workflows.

Niacin CRMs are widely used in food and beverage testing for vitamin fortification analysis and in pharmaceutical laboratories for quantification in drug products and supplements. Secondary standards provide a convenient and cost-effective alternative to primary standards while maintaining traceability to authoritative references. A certificate of analysis is available to support regulatory compliance and analytical documentation requirements.

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.
