General description

A Certified Spiking Solution® for use in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) analyses by HPLC or LC/MS. Used in the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases, methotrexate is an antimetabolite and antifolate drug monitored by clinical labs to ensure patients remain within the drug′s therapeutic range. The Snap-N-Spike® format allows laboratories to eliminate weighing operations of hazardous substances such as methotrexate, significantly reducing occupational exposure hazards related to handling of acutely toxic powders, and provides the ability to spike into their matrix of choice just before use.

Application


  • Pharmacokinetic analysis: Methotrexate solution is employed in advanced pharmacokinetic studies using UV-Vis spectrophotometric and colorimetric methods. This application facilitates precise quantification in plasma and tissue, crucial for evaluating drug distribution and effectiveness in cancer treatments (Febrianti et al., 2024).

  • Toxicity and safety monitoring: Observational studies utilize Methotrexate solution to investigate root causes of medication errors and manage toxicity in elderly patients. This research supports safer clinical practices by identifying risk factors and improving patient safety protocols (Bisht et al., 2024).

  • Nephrotoxicity prevention: Research on Methotrexate solution examines hydration strategies to mitigate nephrotoxicity, enhancing therapeutic outcomes. This study is pivotal in optimizing Methotrexate use in clinical settings, ensuring higher safety and efficacy for patients undergoing chemotherapy (Hasanpour et al., 2024).
