Description

B-Alanine for biochemistry 99+% is a high-purity, non-proteinogenic amino acid essential for advanced biochemical research and synthesis. Its primary value lies in its role as a precursor for the biosynthesis of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and coenzyme A, making it a critical building block in metabolic studies. This high-grade material is specifically designed for demanding applications in pharmaceutical R&D, diagnostic reagent formulation, and as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fine chemicals and peptides.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Synthesis: A fundamental precursor in the study and enzymatic synthesis of coenzyme A and pantothenate.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those related to vitamin B5 and its derivatives.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the formulation of high-sensitivity assay kits and diagnostic solutions for clinical and research laboratories.
• Peptide Synthesis: Serves as a non-standard amino acid building block for creating specialized peptides with modified properties.
• Cell Culture Media: A component in specialized, defined media for microbiological and mammalian cell culture applications.
• Nutritional Science Research: Used in studies investigating β-alanine's role in carnosine synthesis and its implications for human performance.

Quality Control

Our B-Alanine for biochemistry 99+% is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for biochemical and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your project needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
