Description

Tetracycline Hydrochloride is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline class, widely recognized for its bacteriostatic activity against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Its primary commercial value lies in its critical role as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in both human and veterinary medicine, ensuring reliable and effective therapeutic outcomes. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, veterinary, and animal feed additive industries seeking a high-purity, compliant raw material for antibiotic formulations.

Application

• Human Pharmaceutical API: Core ingredient in the manufacture of oral capsules, tablets, and topical ointments for treating bacterial infections.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in formulations for treating infections in livestock, poultry, and companion animals.
• Animal Feed Additive: Incorporated at sub-therapeutic levels to promote growth and prevent disease in agricultural animals.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in microbiological studies and antibiotic resistance research.
• Bioprocessing: Used in cell culture media for selective pressure in recombinant protein production.

Quality Control

Our Tetracycline Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It is typically tested to meet or exceed relevant pharmacopeial standards such as USP, EP, and BP for key parameters including identity, potency, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, related substances, residual solvents, and microbiological quality are provided with each batch to ensure full traceability and compliance for our B2B partners.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a low-humidity environment to prevent degradation and clumping.
