Description

Olanexidine is a potent cationic antiseptic agent belonging to the biguanide class of compounds. It is highly valued for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including drug-resistant strains. This makes it a critical active ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, particularly for surgical scrubs, preoperative skin preparations, and disinfectant formulations. Its stability and effectiveness offer a reliable solution for advanced infection control protocols.

Application

• Surgical Antisepsis: Primary active ingredient in surgical hand scrubs and preoperative skin disinfectants for healthcare settings.
• Healthcare Disinfectants: Formulation of high-level surface disinfectants and instrument cleaners for hospitals and clinics.
• Wound Care: Incorporation into antiseptic creams, ointments, and wound irrigation solutions to prevent and treat infections.
• Medical Device Coating: Used to create antimicrobial coatings on catheters, implants, and other invasive medical devices to reduce biofilm formation.
• Consumer Antiseptics: Key component in over-the-counter antiseptic washes, hand sanitizers, and first-aid sprays.
• Veterinary Medicine: Application in skin preparation solutions and disinfectants for veterinary surgical and clinical use.

Quality Control

Our Olanexidine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for pharmaceutical and medical applications. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC assay, identification by IR and NMR, and stringent control of related substances and residual solvents. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting full compliance with agreed specifications 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and potency.
