Description

Teicoplanin A2 is a potent glycopeptide antibiotic complex, primarily consisting of the A2 component, with the CAS registry number 61036-64-4. It is valued for its strong bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus* (MRSA). This compound is essential for research and development in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for studying antibiotic mechanisms, developing new therapeutic formulations, and serving as a critical reference standard.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity standard for quality control and assay development in antibiotic manufacturing.
• Antimicrobial Research: A key tool in microbiological and pharmacological studies to investigate mechanisms of action against resistant bacterial strains.
• In-Vitro Diagnostics: Employed in the development and calibration of diagnostic assays and kits for detecting bacterial susceptibility.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized in studies of cell wall biosynthesis inhibition and for exploring structure-activity relationships of glycopeptides.
• Veterinary Medicine: Investigated for potential applications in treating bacterial infections in animals.

Quality Control

Our Teicoplanin A2 is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles, typically determined by HPLC. We can supply material that meets standards suitable for research and development purposes. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and potency. For long-term storage, consider storing under inert atmosphere.
