Description

Glucagon CAS NO 16941-32-5 is a critical peptide hormone produced by the pancreas, essential for regulating blood glucose levels. Its primary commercial value lies in its life-saving application as a pharmaceutical agent for the emergency treatment of severe hypoglycemia. This product is indispensable for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research sectors, where high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are required for formulation, clinical studies, and biochemical research.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary active ingredient in emergency kits for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia in diabetic patients.
• Diagnostic Agent: Used in medical diagnostic procedures, such as the glucagon stimulation test, to assess pituitary and adrenal function.
• Biochemical Research: Essential tool in metabolic research for studying glucose metabolism, liver function, and hormone signaling pathways.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in veterinary practice for the treatment of hypoglycemia in companion animals.
• Cell Culture & Biotechnology: Used in specific bioprocessing and cell culture applications where modulation of cyclic AMP is required.

Quality Control

Our Glucagon is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. We ensure compliance with relevant pharmacopeial standards, including USP and EP monographs where applicable. Every batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, potency, and impurity profiles, confirming its suitability for pharmaceutical and research use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or under refrigerated conditions (2-8°C) as specified for the specific grade. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to maintain stability and potency.
