Description

· HPLC Method for Analysis of Polyhexanide PHMB , Alexidine on on BIST B+ by SIELC Technologies

Alexidine is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of bis-biguanide antiseptics and has the chemical formula C 26 H 56 N 10 . It is known for its antimicrobial properties and is used in various products for disinfection and antiseptic purposes. Alexidine has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, and it is commonly used in healthcare settings for its effectiveness against bacteria, fungi, and some viruses. In some formulations, alexidine is used as a topical antiseptic to disinfect skin and mucous membranes. It is found in some mouthwashes, oral care products, contact lens solutions, and more It may be included in certain wound care products for its ability to prevent infection.
