    Product Description

    Chloropseudoephedrine/chloroephedrine mixture contains two diastereomer contaminants produced during the illicit manufacture of (+)-methamphetamine (Item No. 13997) from pseudoephedrine or ephedrine.1,2,3 These isomers are present as an approximate 60/40 mixture and thought to be representative of that produced in the clandestine lab manufacture of methamphetamine. This mixture is designed for use as a reference standard for these substances during routine analytical checks using HPLC-UV and GC-MS instrumentation. This product is intended for forensic and research purposes.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
