Description

Norepinephrine Tartrate is the tartrate salt form of the endogenous catecholamine norepinephrine, a critical neurotransmitter and hormone. This high-purity active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is essential for its potent vasoconstrictive and cardiac stimulant effects. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of emergency injectable solutions for critical care, addressing conditions like acute hypotension and cardiac arrest. Our supply guarantees the stringent quality and reliability required for pharmaceutical manufacturing and advanced research applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary use in the manufacture of injectable drug formulations for the treatment of severe hypotension, shock, and cardiac arrest.
• Critical Care Medicine: A key component in emergency medication kits and hospital crash carts for life-support interventions.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in neuroscience and cardiovascular research to study adrenergic receptor function and signal transduction.
• Diagnostic Aid: Employed in certain diagnostic tests and procedures to assess autonomic nervous system function.
• Veterinary Medicine: Application in veterinary critical care for similar vasopressor purposes in animals.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity chemical reference standard for quality control laboratories in pharmacopeial testing (e.g., USP, EP).

Quality Control

Our Norepinephrine Tartrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems, targeting compliance with major pharmacopeial standards such as USP and EP. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including identification, assay, impurity profiling, and residual solvent analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to ensure full traceability and regulatory support for our clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or as specified on the label. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation. Keep the container tightly sealed to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
