Description

Ractopamine-D6 Hydrochloride CAS NO 1276197-17-1 is a deuterium-labeled internal standard of the β-adrenergic agonist Ractopamine, essential for precise quantitative analysis. This high-purity, isotopically labeled compound is critical for ensuring accuracy and reliability in sensitive analytical methods. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories and research institutions in the food safety, veterinary medicine, and regulatory compliance sectors for method development and validation.

Application

• Internal Standard for Mass Spectrometry: Used as a quantitative reference in LC-MS/MS and GC-MS analysis of Ractopamine residues in animal tissues and feed.
• Food Safety Testing: Critical for developing and validating accurate methods to monitor and enforce compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) in meat products.
• Veterinary Drug Research: Employed in pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies to trace the fate and distribution of Ractopamine.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a key component in establishing robust, precise, and reproducible analytical protocols for regulatory and quality control laboratories.
• Reference Standard Production: Used by certified reference material (CRM) manufacturers to calibrate instruments and create traceable calibration curves.
• Forensic Analysis: Applied in confirmatory testing for regulatory disputes and food adulteration investigations.
