General description

A certified solution standard suitable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS applications for clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, pharmaceutical research, or urine drug testing.  Zopiclone is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic sold under the trade names Imovane® and ZImovane® and is prescribed for the treatment of insomnia.

Application

  • Zopiclone solution pharmacological research applications: Utilized in developing and validating analytical methods for detecting z-drugs in biological samples, enhancing forensic toxicology and clinical diagnostics (Chauhan et al., 2024).
  • Zopiclone as a GABA receptor modulator in biochemistry: Investigated for its role in drug-facilitated crimes, particularly its identification through presumptive spot tests, which is crucial for forensic analysis (Chauhan and Sharma, 2023).
  • Zopiclone solution for sleep disorder experimental studies: Analyzed for its effects on hyperlipidemic conditions in postmortem blood, contributing to forensic science and medical research (Elenstål et al., 2023).
  • Zopiclone liquid formulation stability in laboratory conditions: Reviewed for long-term medication use in insomnia treatments, providing essential data on clinical safety and efficacy (Zee et al., 2023).
  • Zopiclone in vitro receptor binding assays methodology: Employed in evaluating the toxicity of zopiclone impurities, supporting the development of safer pharmaceutical products (Yin et al., 2023).

HPLC Analysis of Z-Drugs on Ascentis® Express ES-Cyano 2.0 μm

An rapid method for the siµLtaneous determination of the Z-drugs or sleep aids: zopiclone, zolpidem, and zaleplon is presented here. The need for greater analytical capacity and throughput for the analysis of sleep aid medicines (Z-drugs) in forensic toxicology laboratories can be met by the use of fast Ascentis Express 2.0 micron Fused Core UHPLC Columns.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
