Description

Dehydroxy Ractopamine-D6 (Major) Hydrochloride Salt is a high-purity, deuterium-labeled internal standard critical for advanced analytical chemistry. This compound is essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of quantitative mass spectrometry analyses, particularly in complex matrices. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, contract research organizations (CROs), and regulatory bodies involved in veterinary drug residue testing, food safety monitoring, and forensic analysis.

Application

• Quantitative Mass Spectrometry: Serves as a critical internal standard for the precise quantification of ractopamine and related analogs in LC-MS/MS and GC-MS methods.
• Veterinary Drug Residue Analysis: Used in method development and validation for detecting β-agonist residues in animal tissues, urine, and feed.
• Food Safety and Regulatory Compliance: Enables accurate testing to ensure compliance with international regulations (e.g., FDA, EU, China) regarding banned or restricted growth promoters in meat products.
• Metabolite Studies: Facilitates research into the metabolic pathways and degradation products of ractopamine in biological systems.
• Forensic and Doping Control: Applied in forensic toxicology and anti-doping controls in animal sports for definitive identification and quantification.
• Reference Standard Manufacturing: Used by certified reference material (CRM) producers to create calibrated standards for quality control laboratories.
