Description

Calcitonin is a polypeptide hormone that plays a critical role in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. Its primary commercial value lies in its therapeutic application for treating bone disorders such as Paget's disease, osteoporosis, and hypercalcemia. This product is essential for pharmaceutical manufacturers, research institutions, and diagnostic kit developers focused on endocrinology and metabolic disease research. We supply high-purity Calcitonin CAS NO 9007-12-9 to meet the stringent demands of global biopharmaceutical production and advanced life science applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient (API): Primary use in injectable formulations for the treatment of osteoporosis and Paget's disease of bone.
• Metabolic Disorder Research: Critical reagent for in vitro and in vivo studies on calcium and phosphate regulation.
• Diagnostic Development: Used as a reference standard in immunoassays and clinical diagnostic tests for bone turnover markers.
• Biomedical Research: Tool for investigating hormone signaling pathways, receptor interactions, and bone biology.
• Veterinary Medicine: Potential application in treating metabolic bone diseases in animals.

Quality Control

Our Calcitonin is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and research use. Each batch is tested for identity, purity, potency, and biological activity. We can provide material compliant with relevant pharmacopeial monographs (e.g., USP, EP). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (typically >98% by HPLC), peptide content, endotoxin levels, and biological assay results is available for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For short-term use, the material may be stored at 2-8°C. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture absorption.
