Frequently asked questions
What is Gelatin USP CRS commonly used for?
Gelatin USP CRS is a USP Reference Standard supplied for the compendial tests and assays specified in the USP monograph, such as identification and quality testing of gelatin. It is not intended for use as an excipient or ingredient in drug, food, or cosmetic formulations; those applications call for bulk pharmaceutical- or food-grade gelatin.
What is the molecular formula and molecular weight of Gelatin USP CRS?
Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen. It is a mixture of polypeptides rather than a single compound, so it has no single molecular formula and its molecular weight is variable. Because gelatin is rich in glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, its average amino acid residue mass is roughly 90 g/mol. Glycine, the simplest amino acid, has a molecular weight of about 75.07 g/mol.
How should Gelatin USP CRS be stored?
Store Gelatin USP CRS in a dry place at ambient temperature (typically 15–30°C) in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
What grades of gelatin does Molekula supply, and is USP CRS available in bulk?
Molekula supplies Gelatin USP CRS (United States Pharmacopeia Conformance Reference Standard), and yes, we can provide it in bulk quantities upon request—contact us for minimum order quantities (MOQs).
Does Gelatin USP CRS require any special handling or safety precautions?
Gelatin USP CRS has no signal word or hazard classification, but standard lab practices (gloves, goggles) are recommended to avoid dust inhalation during handling.
What documentation comes with an order of Gelatin USP CRS?
Each order includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and a batch-specific documentation file verifying USP CRS compliance and purity.
