Description

Tetracycline Hydrate 99 is a high-purity, semi-synthetic antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline class. It is valued for its broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, mycoplasmas, and other microorganisms. This product is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers, research institutions, and veterinary medicine formulators requiring a reliable and consistent active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for therapeutic and developmental applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary raw material for the formulation of oral capsules, tablets, and topical ointments.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in the production of medicated feeds, injectables, and powders for treating bacterial infections in livestock and companion animals.
• Biomedical Research: A critical tool in microbiological studies for inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and as a selective agent in cell culture.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method validation in laboratory testing.
• Aquaculture: Employed in the treatment and prevention of bacterial diseases in fish farming operations.
