Medical Barium Sulfate USP Grade
Medical Barium Sulfate stands as a critical pharmaceutical active ingredient, defined by its compliance with USP Grade monographs and its specialized function as a Gastrointestinal Contrast Medium. This product is the cornerstone of countless safe and effective radiographic diagnostic procedures performed daily in hospitals and clinics worldwide.
The designation as "Medical" and "USP Grade" signifies a level of purity, consistency, and regulatory oversight that far surpasses any industrial or technical grade. It is manufactured exclusively for human use, with every aspect of its production—from sourcing of raw materials to packaging—designed to ensure patient safety, diagnostic efficacy, and compliance with global regulatory authorities like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
USP Grade Specifications
The USP Grade specification is a comprehensive set of legally recognized standards for identity, strength, quality, and purity. For barium sulfate, the USP monograph dictates strict limits on potentially harmful impurities:
- Heavy Metals: Stringent limits on arsenic, lead, and other toxic elements, typically in the low parts-per-million (ppm) range
- Soluble Barium Salts: Perhaps the most critical test, as soluble barium ions are highly toxic. The product must pass a sensitive limit test confirming negligible levels
- Acidity or Alkalinity, Chloride, and Sulfide: Controlled to ensure chemical neutrality and safety
- Loss on Drying and Microbial Limits: Ensuring product stability and microbiological safety
Our manufacturing process is validated to consistently meet and often exceed these requirements. Facilities are GMP-certified, and each batch is released only after full analytical testing and review by a Qualified Person (QP). The accompanying regulatory documentation, including the Drug Master File (DMF) or Certificate of Suitability (CEP), supports our customers' own regulatory submissions and audits.
Gastrointestinal Contrast Medium Applications
As a Gastrointestinal Contrast Medium, its primary function is to temporarily opacify the GI tract for fluoroscopic and radiographic examination. The quality of the powder directly dictates the quality of the clinical suspension and, consequently, the diagnostic images.
Key Performance Attributes
- Particle Size and Morphology: Optimized for smooth, creamy texture when mixed, excellent mucosal adherence for double-contrast studies, and minimal gritty sensation for improved patient compliance
- Suspension Stability: The powder is engineered to form stable suspensions with water or approved suspending agents, preventing rapid settling during the procedure
- Purity and Taste: Ultra-pure material minimizes unpleasant tastes or odors, and allows for the addition of flavoring agents in ready-to-drink formulations
This product is supplied to pharmaceutical companies that formulate it into various commercial presentations: plain powders for reconstitution, pre-mixed suspensions, paste formulations for esophageal studies, and effervescent granules for double-contrast gastric exams. By providing a reliable, high-quality USP Grade active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), we enable diagnostic manufacturers to produce life-saving imaging tools that allow physicians to accurately identify conditions ranging from ulcers and tumors to motility disorders, fundamentally contributing to modern diagnostic medicine.
