Pure Tetracaine Powder

Genbay Biotechnology Co., Ltd. provides high-grade Pure Tetracaine Powder as a potent pharmaceutical raw material for global supply, used for surface and spinal anesthesia. As a high-performance local anesthetic of the ester group, this compound is specifically valued for its long duration of action and high potency compared to lidocaine or procaine. Pure Tetracaine Powder functions by reversibly binding to voltage-gated sodium channels in neuronal membranes. This action prevents the influx of sodium ions, thereby inhibiting the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses and effectively blocking pain signals. Our manufacturing process ensures a high-purity crystalline form with exceptional stability, making it the ideal active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for formulating topical ophthalmic solutions, anesthetic gels, and spinal injection preparations.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary advantage of Tetracaine over other anesthetics?
A1: Pure Tetracaine Powder provides a significantly longer duration of numbing effect and higher potency, making it more effective for procedures requiring extended anesthesia.

Q2: Is this the Hydrochloride (HCl) form or the Base form?
A2: Genbay primarily supplies the Tetracaine HCl form, which is highly stable and water-soluble, making it easier to formulate into solutions and gels.

Q3: What is the shelf life of the material?
A3: When stored in a cool, dry environment and kept tightly sealed, the shelf life is typically 36 months from the date of manufacture.

Q4: Is the powder soluble in water?
A4: Yes, the HCl form is freely soluble in water and alcohol, allowing for easy preparation of topical and injectable formulations.

Q5: What is the typical lead time for an international order?
A5: Standard orders are processed and dispatched within 3 to 5 business days, followed by worldwide tracked delivery.
