Description

Cocaine CAS NO 7058-74-4 is a potent tropane alkaloid and central nervous system stimulant derived from the leaves of the *Erythroxylum coca* plant. This compound is of significant importance in strictly controlled pharmaceutical research and forensic science for analytical reference and calibration standards. It is primarily required by certified analytical laboratories, government regulatory agencies, and authorized pharmaceutical research institutions for applications such as method validation, quality control testing, and pharmacological studies.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a primary standard in Gas Chromatography (GC), Liquid Chromatography (LC), and Mass Spectrometry (MS) for the identification and quantification of controlled substances.
• Forensic Analysis: Used in crime laboratories for the calibration of equipment and as a known control sample in drug testing and evidence analysis.
• Pharmacological Research: Employed in controlled *in vitro* studies to investigate the mechanisms of action, metabolism, and toxicology of stimulant compounds within approved research frameworks.
• Clinical Toxicology: Acts as a calibrant in diagnostic assays designed to detect and measure drug exposure in biological matrices.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Utilized by pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturers to test for trace impurities or contaminants as part of compliance with strict regulatory guidelines.
• Educational Purposes: Provided to accredited academic and training institutions for instructional use in advanced chemistry, pharmacology, and forensic science programs.

Quality Control

Every batch of our Cocaine reference material is produced and handled under the highest security and quality protocols to ensure integrity and traceability. The material undergoes rigorous identity confirmation and purity analysis using advanced chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each shipment, detailing batch-specific results for identity, assay, and related substances. Our quality system is designed to meet the exacting requirements of forensic and pharmaceutical reference standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. All handling and storage must comply with applicable national and international regulations for controlled substances.
