About Tetracaine

Tetracaine is a high-purity reference standard of Tetracaine carrying the CAS registry number 94-24-6. The compound has the formula C15H24N2O2, corresponding to a molecular weight of 264.36 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl 4-(butylamino)benzoate. Common synonyms include Tetracaine (API) and Amethocaine.

The product is provided 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 Tetracaine, 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.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Tetracaine in 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
