General description

Praziquantel (PZQ) is a pyrazino-isoquinoline compound used as a broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug against trematode and cestode infections.
Chemical structure: quinolone

Application

PZQ may be used as a reference standard for the determination for PZQ in:
  • Surface water samples by solid phase extraction (SPE) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QqLIT-MS) equipped with electrospray ionization (ESI) source.
  • Plants by HPLC with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-QqQ-MS/MS) operating in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode.
  • Tablet formulations by reversed phase (RP) HPLC with ultraviolet (UV) detection.

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
