Description

Insulin CAS NO 11061-68-0 is a vital polypeptide hormone that plays a central role in regulating glucose metabolism. Its primary commercial value lies in its critical application as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. This high-purity biochemical is essential for manufacturers in the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, particularly those producing life-saving injectable therapeutics and conducting advanced metabolic research.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary active ingredient in the formulation of injectable insulin products for diabetes management (Type 1 and Type 2).
• Biosimilar Development: Serves as a reference standard and key component in the research and production of biosimilar insulin formulations.
• Biomedical Research: Used in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate glucose uptake, cellular signaling pathways, and metabolic disorders.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: A critical component in the production of diagnostic kits and assays for measuring insulin levels in clinical and research settings.
• Cell Culture & Biotechnology: Employed in specialized cell culture media formulations for metabolic studies and the production of certain biotherapeutics.

Quality Control

Our Insulin is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems to meet the rigorous standards required for pharmaceutical applications. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming identity, purity, potency, and biological activity. We adhere to relevant pharmacopeial standards, including USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) monographs, where applicable. Certificates of Analysis are available upon request to ensure full transparency and regulatory compliance for our partners.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature, typically between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F), or as specified on the label or COA. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture. For long-term stability, storage at -20°C is often recommended. Refer to the specific product documentation for detailed storage instructions.
