Abstract
Many drugs are rapidly and extensively metabolized to their glucuronide conjugates for excretion. Detection and quantitation of drug glucuronides is an essential part of forensic and toxicologic analyses. Test results have potential social, legal and clinical significance. The purity value assigned to these reference materials therefore has a critical impact on the quality of analytical results. As a class, glucuronides tend to be polar, hygroscopic, difficult to manufacture and handle, and they can be challenging to analyze and certify. Method of certification is critical and depends on the material to be tested.
