About Dexamethasone

Dexamethasone is a high-purity reference standard of Dexamethasone carrying the CAS registry number 50-02-2. Formula C22H29FO5, molecular weight 392.5 g/mol. It is also known as Aeroseb-Dex or Corson.

It is supplied as a solid. Store the standard in its sealed vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage condition printed on the COA. Under GHS it is labelled “Danger”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

As a reference sample of Dexamethasone, 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.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide. Stock is available for quick dispatch.
