Description

Iopanoic Acid CAS NO 96-83-3 is a diagnostic pharmaceutical agent primarily used as an oral cholecystographic contrast medium. This iodinated organic compound is valued for its ability to provide clear radiographic visualization of the gallbladder and biliary ducts following oral administration. It is an essential material for pharmaceutical manufacturers and research institutions developing or producing diagnostic imaging agents. The compound's specific pharmacokinetic properties make it a key ingredient in specialized medical formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient (API): Primary use as the active component in oral cholecystographic (gallbladder) X-ray contrast media.
• Diagnostic Imaging Formulations: Formulated into tablets or capsules for patient administration prior to radiographic procedures.
• Medical Research & Development: Used in preclinical and clinical studies to develop new diagnostic imaging protocols and contrast agents.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity chemical reference standard (CRS) for quality control testing in pharmaceutical labs.
• Chemical Intermediate: Potential use as a synthetic intermediate for other iodinated organic compounds in specialized organic synthesis.

Quality Control

Our Iopanoic Acid is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. It meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical applications, with specifications aligned with pharmacopeial requirements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with each batch. We support compliance with cGMP, ISO, and other relevant regulatory frameworks for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
