Eurofins PHAST offers customers with a need for Reference Standards a new easy-to-use online shop for the purchase of USP, EP, and BP Standards. In pharmaceutical quality control, the measurement results in the release analysis of active substances/API, and finished drugs containing the active substance must be traceable to an officially recognised primary standard. In addition to creating complete transparency in the method, this also includes the calibration of the measuring system. Reference Standards are used for this purpose.

Eurofins’ online shop exclusively offers over 7,000 original pharmacopoeia standards from USP (United States Pharmacopoeia), EDQM (Ph.Eur.) and MHRA (BP/British Pharmacopoeia) to professionals such as the pharmaceutical industry, laboratories, and pharmacies. The webshop offers its services in three languages: English, French, and German. As “Authorized Distributor”, Eurofins PHAST is the official distributor in Europe for more than 3,700 USP Reference Standards.

Why use USP standards? Pascal Van De Veire, Managing Director at Eurofins PHAST, comments: “The USP sets the standard for quality control and assurance in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. USP Reference Standards are officially recognised, e.g. by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). In addition, the official standards help to ensure that the product tests are GMP-compliant. Official USP Reference Standards support laboratory staff in saving time and resources in quality control and in meeting compliance requirements. For customers of the online shop, Eurofins PHAST handles the EU import from the US with its complex and timeconsuming customs clearance.”
