Description

1H-Indole-3-Butanoic Acid Monosodium Salt is a water-soluble salt derivative of the important plant hormone indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and solubility profile compared to the free acid, facilitating precise formulation and application in controlled environments. It serves as a critical intermediate and active ingredient for researchers and manufacturers in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, and plant biotechnology sectors.

Application

• Plant Tissue Culture: Used as a rooting agent in media formulations to promote adventitious root formation in micropropagation.
• Agricultural Chemicals: A key active ingredient or intermediate in the synthesis of advanced plant growth regulators and rooting hormone products.
• Horticulture: Incorporated into rooting powders, gels, and solutions for vegetative propagation of cuttings from ornamental plants and trees.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a building block or intermediate in organic synthesis for developing novel therapeutic agents, leveraging the indole core structure.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in studies of auxin metabolism, signal transduction, and plant developmental biology due to its specific hormonal activity.
• Seed Treatment: Formulated in solutions to enhance seed germination vigor and early seedling root development.

Quality Control

Our 1H-Indole-3-Butanoic Acid Monosodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
