Description

Miramistin is a broad-spectrum cationic surfactant antiseptic and disinfectant compound. Its primary value lies in its potent antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including antibiotic-resistant strains. This makes it a critical component for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, and personal care industries seeking effective biocidal formulations. Miramistin CAS NO 126338-77-0 is particularly valued for its low toxicity and lack of significant local irritant effects.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Active ingredient in topical antiseptic creams, ointments, sprays, and solutions for wound care and infection prevention.
• Medical Device Disinfection: Used in disinfectant solutions for sterilizing surgical instruments, catheters, and other non-porous medical surfaces.
• Healthcare & Hygiene Products: Key component in hand sanitizers, surgical scrubs, and mouthwashes for its persistent antimicrobial action.
• Veterinary Medicine: Employed in topical treatments for animal wound management and as a disinfectant in veterinary practice.
• Preservative Systems: Acts as a preservative in cosmetic and personal care products to prevent microbial spoilage.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and active agent in microbiological and pharmacological research studies.

Quality Control

Our Miramistin is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including identification, assay, impurity profiling, and residual solvent analysis to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and compliance with specified limits is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
