Description

Spectinomycin Hydrochloride is a high-purity aminocyclitol antibiotic salt, essential for research and development in the pharmaceutical and veterinary sectors. Its primary value lies in its specific activity against a range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, making it a critical reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient. This product is particularly needed by manufacturers and research institutions focused on developing antibacterial treatments, diagnostic reagents, and animal health products.

Application

• As an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in the formulation of antibacterial injectables and topical preparations.
• As a critical reference standard and analytical control substance in pharmaceutical quality control and research laboratories.
• In veterinary medicine for the treatment of bacterial infections in livestock and poultry.
• For microbiological research to study bacterial resistance mechanisms and antibiotic efficacy.
• In the development of selective culture media for the isolation and identification of specific bacterial strains.
• As a key intermediate in the synthesis of novel antibiotic derivatives and conjugates.

Quality Control

Our Spectinomycin Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and potency, suitable for pharmaceutical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting results for assay, related substances, residual solvents, and microbiological quality. We support compliance with cGMP, ICH Q7, and relevant pharmacopoeial standards (USP, EP).

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
