Characterisation level Level 1 Mass balanceFor small molecules, identity is confirmed by IR, MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, purity by HPLC (min. 95%) and assay by mass balance (min. 90%); for peptides and similar molecules, identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry (ESI-MS and MALDI-TOF) and IR, purity by HPLC (min. 95%) and assay by mass balance, reported for information only.* Level 2 Mass balance + qNMRFor small molecules, in addition to the Level 1 analyses, the assay is verified by qNMR, an orthogonal method independent of chromatography; for peptides and similar molecules, Level 2 is not available. Analytical documentation supporting qualification as an in-house primary standard under ICH Q7 (§11.17-11.18).

* Mass balance is performed on every molecule. The only exceptions are cases where the chemistry of the molecule prevents it, for example oils and highly volatile substances, on which some of the required measurements cannot be made: in those cases the CoA states how the content was assigned.

An acaricide of the formamidine family, first synthesised in England in 1969: in veterinary medicine it is used against mites, ticks, lice and flies on cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and dogs, and acts by interfering with octopamine in arthropods.

Did you know?It is also widely used by beekeepers to control Varroa destructor, the parasitic mite of honeybees, although cases of resistance have been reported.

Frequently asked questions

Is mass balance always performed?

Yes, on every molecule. The only exceptions are cases where the chemistry of the molecule prevents it: for example oils and highly volatile substances, on which some measurements (such as thermogravimetry) cannot be made. In those cases the CoA states which method was used to assign the content.

Can I ask for a different quantity?

Yes. The quantities are only suggestions: choose "Other" and enter the milligrams or grams you need.

Which level should I choose?

Level 1 is enough for most routine testing. Level 2 adds an independent qNMR content value and is meant for labs that need to qualify an in-house primary standard. For peptides and similar molecules, Level 2 is not available.

When will I get the quote?

Within 24 working hours, with price, availability and delivery time.
