Description

Ractopamine-D6 Ketone Hydrochloride is a high-purity, deuterium-labeled internal standard critical for precise analytical quantification. This stable isotope-labeled compound is essential for ensuring accuracy and reliability in sensitive mass spectrometry-based methods, eliminating matrix effects and variability. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, contract research organizations (CROs), and pharmaceutical companies engaged in method development, residue testing, and pharmacokinetic studies where the highest level of data integrity is non-negotiable.

Application

• Internal Standard for LC-MS/MS Analysis: Primary use as a quantitative reference standard in the analysis of ractopamine and related compounds in complex matrices.
• Veterinary Drug Residue Testing: Enables accurate monitoring and confirmation of ractopamine residues in animal tissues, feed, and biological fluids for food safety compliance.
• Pharmacokinetic & Metabolite Studies: Facilitates precise measurement of drug concentration and metabolic profiles in research and development.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a critical component in developing robust, regulatory-compliant analytical methods (e.g., for FDA, EMA).
• Quality Control in Reference Material Production: Used in the calibration and qualification of certified reference materials (CRMs).
• Forensic & Doping Control Analysis: Supports accurate identification and quantification in forensic toxicology and anti-doping programs.
