Aldrich Products
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
Not Finding What You Are Looking For?
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
Which document(s) contains shelf-life or expiration date information for a given product?
If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.
What is the excitation and emission wavelength for Product D1515, Doxorubicin hydrochloride?
Doxorubicin has excitation maximum at 470 nm and an emission maximum at 585 nm in ethanol.
What is the difference between Doxorubicin hydrochloride Products D1515 and D1317?
Product No. D1317, Doxorubicin hydrochloride solution has been discontinued and is no longer available. We now offer Product No. D1515 which is a powder.
How can I store a solution of Product D1515, Doxorubicin hydrochloride?
Aqueous solutions are unchanged after one month at 5 °C but unstable at higher temperatures or at either acid or alkaline pH. Several studies cite that stability is related to pH, exposure to light and the medium used for storage. Doxorubicin hydrochloride is subject to light degradation at <0.5 mg/mL, with considerable loss of bioactivity. If stored at 25 °C in the dark in 5% glucose, pH 4.7 (or 3.3% glucose + 0.3% sodium chloride, pH 4.4), solutions were stable (5% or less change) for at least 4 weeks.
What can be used to make a solution of Product D1515, Doxorubicin hydrochloride?
The solubility of doxorubicin is tested in water (50 mg/mL), yielding a clear orange to red solution.
How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?
