ASTM F1088-23 standard analysis laboratory
You want to analyse the beta-tricalcium content of your DM in accordance with ASTM F1088-23
Firstly, the ASTM F1088-23 specification is evolving to meet the requirements of ICH Q3D and USP 233.
What does ASTM F1088-23 say ?
ASTM F1088-23 covers the chemical and crystallographic requirements of biocompatible beta-tricalcium phosphate for surgical implant applications. Elemental analysis of calcium and phosphorus will be consistent with the expected stoichiometry of beta-tricalcium phosphate.
Calcium and phosphorus content should be determined using an appropriate method such as X-ray fluorescence. Quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis should indicate a minimum beta-tricalcium phosphate content of 95%, as determined by the powder diffraction method.
The FILAB laboratory can assist you with your analysis needs in accordance with ASTM F1088-23 standard
