Description

β-Chloralose is a crystalline organic compound widely utilized as a long-acting anesthetic and sedative in laboratory animal research. Its primary value lies in its ability to induce prolonged surgical anesthesia with minimal respiratory depression, making it a critical tool in physiological and pharmacological studies. This product is essential for research institutions, pharmaceutical development labs, and contract research organizations (CROs) conducting in-vivo experiments.

Application

• Laboratory Animal Anesthesia: Used for long-duration surgical procedures and non-recovery experiments in rodents and other small animals.
• Physiological Research: Employed in studies of cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological functions where stable anesthesia is required.
• Pharmacology & Toxicology Testing: Serves as a sedative agent during the administration of test compounds and for monitoring prolonged physiological responses.
• Veterinary Research: Applied in experimental veterinary medicine for surgical models and pain management studies.
• Neuroscience Studies: Facilitates electrophysiological recordings and central nervous system investigations due to its specific neurodepressant properties.
