Description

Dehydroxy Ractopamine Hydrochloride is a high-purity chemical intermediate and reference standard of significant importance in pharmaceutical research and analytical chemistry. Its primary value lies in its role as a key structural analog for the development and validation of analytical methods, particularly for the detection and quantification of related β-adrenergic agonist compounds. This product is essential for researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, veterinary medicine, and food safety sectors who require precise and reliable reference materials for method development, calibration, and compliance testing.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration of analytical instruments and validation of testing methods in compliance with regulatory guidelines (e.g., FDA, EMA).
• Veterinary Drug Research: Serves as a critical intermediate or metabolite analog in the research and development of new therapeutic agents and in pharmacokinetic studies.
• Analytical Method Development: Essential for developing and optimizing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and other spectroscopic methods for residue analysis.
• Food Safety & Regulatory Testing: Employed by testing laboratories to establish detection protocols and ensure compliance with international regulations concerning banned or controlled substances in animal feed and food products.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Used as an in-house working standard for the identity and purity testing of related active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished products.
• Academic & Clinical Research: Supports biochemical and pharmacological studies investigating the mechanism of action, metabolism, and residue depletion profiles of ractopamine and its analogs.

Quality Control

Our Dehydroxy Ractopamine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by IR and NMR, purity assessment by HPLC, and control of specific impurities. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes batch-specific results for all critical parameters. Our quality commitment ensures the material is suitable for its intended use as a high-grade reference standard in regulated environments.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants.
