About Monensin

Monensin (CAS 17090-79-8) is a high-purity reference standard of Monensin offered by Vaqora Chemicals. Formula C36H62O11, molecular weight 670.9 g/mol. Common synonyms include monensin A and Monensic acid.

It is supplied as a solid. Reference materials should be stored sealed and away from light and moisture, as specified on the accompanying COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

As a reference sample of Monensin, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

We offer Monensin in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
