Description

Relomycin is a polyether antibiotic belonging to the monensin family, widely recognized for its potent ionophoric activity. This compound is crucial for its ability to modulate intracellular ion transport, making it a valuable tool in veterinary medicine and biochemical research. It serves the needs of the animal health industry, pharmaceutical R&D, and academic institutions studying ion transport mechanisms.

Application

• Veterinary Coccidiostat: Primary use as a feed additive for the prevention and control of coccidiosis in poultry and livestock.
• Growth Promoter: Enhances feed efficiency and promotes growth in ruminants by modulating rumen fermentation.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex antibiotic derivatives.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a research-grade ionophore in studies of potassium and sodium transport across biological membranes.
• Microbiological Studies: Employed as a selective agent in microbiology for studying Gram-positive bacteria and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
• Reference Standard: Utilized as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for HPLC or LC-MS methods.

Quality Control

Our Relomycin is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and MS, to ensure it meets high-grade specifications for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and potency.
