Description

Dl-Cocaine CAS NO 21206-60-0 is a synthetic racemic mixture of the tropane alkaloid cocaine, serving as a critical reference standard and research chemical. This compound is essential for analytical and forensic laboratories requiring precise calibration materials for method development and validation. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical researchers, forensic toxicologists, and academic institutions engaged in neuropharmacology and analytical chemistry studies.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibrating equipment like HPLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS in forensic and clinical toxicology.
• Forensic Science: Critical for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of illicit substances in law enforcement and customs laboratories.
• Pharmacological Research: Used in *in vitro* and *in vivo* studies to investigate the mechanisms of action, metabolism, and effects of stimulants on the central nervous system.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as a key component in developing, optimizing, and validating new analytical methods for drug detection.
• Quality Control (QC) Testing: Employed by pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturers to test the specificity and accuracy of their analytical procedures.
• Educational Purposes: Used in controlled academic settings for teaching advanced analytical techniques and neuropharmacology principles.

Quality Control

Our Dl-Cocaine is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols suitable for research and analytical applications. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which includes results from chromatographic purity tests (HPLC), identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and residual solvent analysis. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of forensic and pharmaceutical reference standard users.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep under inert conditions if specified for long-term storage stability.
