Description

Ginsenoside Ra3 is a high-purity, tetracyclic triterpenoid saponin isolated from Panax ginseng, representing a key marker compound for quality assessment. This specific ginsenoside is valued for its distinct biological activity profile and serves as a critical reference standard in analytical and research applications. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced life science sectors for product development and quality control.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of ginseng extracts and finished products via HPLC, LC-MS, or TLC.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Formulation: Incorporated into high-end ginseng-based supplements targeting specific health benefits, requiring standardized active ingredient content.
• Biomedical & Pharmacological Research: Employed in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate its potential effects on metabolic, neurological, and immune system pathways.
• Cosmeceutical Ingredients: Utilized in advanced skincare formulations for its purported anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating properties.
• Quality Control (QC) & Assurance: Essential for the internal QC laboratories of herbal extract producers to calibrate equipment and validate assay methods for batch consistency.
• Academic Research & Teaching: Serves as a pure compound for university laboratories conducting research on natural product chemistry and bioactivity.

Quality Control

Our Ginsenoside Ra3 is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high chemical purity and identity, meeting the rigorous standards required for research and analytical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identification, and related substance tests is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider desiccant use.
