Product Description
Quinine Sulphate (C₂₀H₂₄N₂O₂·H₂SO₄·2H₂O) is a white to off-white crystalline powder derived from the bark of the Cinchona tree. It is best known for its antimalarial, antipyretic, and analgesic properties and is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations and laboratory research.
In analytical chemistry, Quinine Sulphate serves as a fluorescence standard due to its strong emission in acidic solutions, making it valuable in spectroscopic studies and fluorescence calibration.
