FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does CAS 64228-81-5 refer to the free base or the salt form?
A: CAS 64228-81-5 specifically identifies Atracurium Besylate, which is the benzenesulfonate salt form of the molecule, rather than the cationic free base or other salt variations. -
Q:
Is this product suitable for compounding or sterile filling lines?
A: This material is supplied as a raw Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) intended for use in the industrial production of sterile injectable formulations, not as a finished dosage form.
