Polyethylene Glycol 8000 USP Reference Standard

Welcome to our product page for Polyethylene Glycol 8000 USP Reference Standard. This compendial standard is specifically designed to meet your needs when it comes to determining strength, quality, purity, and identity in your USP-NF monograph tests and assays. With its numerous key features and high-grade composition, this product is a valuable tool for any laboratory or research facility.

Key Features:

• USP Reference Standard: Our Polyethylene Glycol 8000 complies with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards, ensuring that it meets the stringent requirements set for the pharmaceutical industry. This reference standard is reliable and trusted, making it an essential component for any USP-NF monograph tests and assays.
• Poly(ethylene glycol): Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) is a versatile polymer that finds application in various industries, especially in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products. It is a water-soluble polymer that is widely used as an excipient, lubricant, solubilizer, and dispersing agent.
• CAS Number: 25322-68-3: The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number is a unique identifier assigned to chemical substances. Polyethylene Glycol 8000 can be identified using CAS number 25322-68-3, allowing for easy reference and identification in scientific literature and databases.
• H(OCH2CH2)nOH: The chemical formula of Polyethylene Glycol describes its molecular structure. It consists of a chain of ethylene oxide units (CH2CH2O) repeated multiple times ( ), bound by oxygen (O) atoms and capped by hydroxyl (OH) groups. This unique structure gives PEG its desirable properties.
