Description

Bacitracin F CAS NO 22601-63-4 is a specific, high-purity variant of the bacitracin complex, a well-known polypeptide antibiotic. This compound is valued for its targeted antimicrobial activity, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria, making it a critical component in specialized pharmaceutical and research applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, veterinary medicine, and advanced life science research sectors for developing topical formulations, medicated feeds, and as a biochemical tool.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Key ingredient in the formulation of topical antibiotic ointments, creams, and ophthalmic preparations.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in medicated animal feed and topical treatments to prevent and control bacterial infections in livestock and poultry.
• Microbiological Research: Serves as a selective agent in culture media and as a standard in studies of antibiotic resistance and mechanism of action.
• Biochemical Studies: Employed in laboratory research to investigate cell wall synthesis and membrane permeability in bacteria.
• Preservative Systems: Potential use in specialized cosmetic or diagnostic reagent formulations requiring antimicrobial protection against specific pathogens.

Quality Control

Our Bacitracin F is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, potency, and related substances are provided with every shipment. We can support compliance with relevant pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP, EP) upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 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 or inert atmosphere.
