• Beschreibung: Alpha-Chloralose (max. 20% beta-anomer) is a chemical compound primarily used as a sedative and for rodent control. It is synthesized through a chemical reaction involving glucose and chloral, creating a substance with unique physiological properties. Its mode of action primarily involves depressing the central nervous system, leading to reduced responsiveness and hypothermia in targeted organisms. Alpha-Chloralose induces symptoms that facilitate its application as a tranquilizer, particularly in small mammals and birds during scientific research. Additionally, due to its efficacy in lowering metabolic rates, it is utilized as a rodenticide. Within this context, it serves to humanely control rodent populations by inducing hypothermic conditions, leading to a humane death. Its dual functionality—both as a sedative and a rodenticide—makes it a versatile tool in scientific research and pest management. The specification of a maximum 20% beta-anomer content ensures a standardized formulation, enhancing its reliability and consistency for experimental and practical applications.
