Description

Spectinomycin Sulfate is a broad-spectrum aminocyclitol antibiotic derived from *Streptomyces spectabilis*. This compound is valued for its specific activity against Gram-negative bacteria and its role as a critical tool in veterinary medicine and research. It is essential for manufacturers in the animal health sector, diagnostic kit producers, and research institutions focused on microbiology and antibiotic resistance studies. Spectinomycin Sulfate CAS NO 23312-56-3 is a key ingredient in formulations where targeted antibacterial action is required.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Primary active ingredient in injectable solutions and powders for the treatment of bacterial infections in livestock and poultry, particularly respiratory and enteric diseases.
• Feed Additives: Used in medicated animal feed premixes for growth promotion and disease prevention.
• Microbiological Research: Serves as a selective agent in culture media for the isolation and study of specific bacterial strains.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Utilized in the production of test kits and reagents for clinical and veterinary diagnostics.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a high-purity chemical standard for quality control and analytical method development in pharmaceutical laboratories.
• Aquaculture: Employed in treatments for bacterial diseases in farmed fish and shellfish.

Quality Control

Our Spectinomycin Sulfate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, potency (assay), and impurity profiling via HPLC, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for pharmaceutical and research use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
