About Carcinine Dihydrochloride

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Carcinine Dihydrochloride, a high-purity reference standard of Carnosine registered under CAS number 57022-38-5. Its molecular formula is C8H16Cl2N4O and its molecular weight is 255.14 g/mol. Common synonyms include Decarboxy carnosine hydrochloride and Decarboxy carnosine HCl.

It is supplied as a solid. Keep the vial tightly closed, protected from light and humidity, at the temperature stated on the Certificate of Analysis. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

As a reference sample of Carnosine, 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 Carcinine Dihydrochloride in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
