Description

Nicotine Ditartrate is a stable, crystalline salt form of nicotine, offering a non-volatile and precisely dosable alternative to the free base. This compound is critical for applications requiring high purity, consistent potency, and reliable stability in formulation. It serves as a key intermediate and reference standard for the pharmaceutical, research, and agrochemical industries, where exact nicotine content is paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the calibration and validation of analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, GC) in drug testing and quality control laboratories.
• Research Chemical: Employed in preclinical and biochemical studies investigating nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), addiction mechanisms, and neurological pathways.
• Agrochemical Intermediate: Acts as a precursor in the synthesis of advanced nicotine-based insecticides and pest control agents.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a primary standard for the quantitative analysis of nicotine content in various matrices, including tobacco, botanical extracts, and commercial products.
• Formulation Ingredient: Utilized in the development of stable dosage forms for research purposes, where the ditartrate salt's properties are advantageous over other forms.
