Syndel's Syncaine (MS-222, tricaine methanesulfonate) is an FDA approved fish anesthetic (FDA ANADA 200-226) used for the temporary immobilization of fish, amphibians, and other aquatic cold-blooded animals (poikilotherms). Syncaine has long been recognized as a valuable tool for the proper handling of these animals during manual spawning (fish stripping), weighing, measuring, marking, surgical operations, transport, photography, and research.

Syndel is the world`s largest manufacturer of Syncaine. It is made in our FDA inspected Ferndale, Washington USA manufacturing plant according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), which ensures the purity, strength, and quality of the product.

Syncaine (MS-222) is a fine crystalline powder fish anesthetic that is mixed with water prior to use. Syncaine is safe and effective for the anesthesia of fish when used as directed. Directions for using Syncaine can be viewed by clicking the link on the Product Downloads tab.
