Description

Cobalt Glycine CAS NO 14221-43-3 is a coordination complex formed from cobalt and the amino acid glycine, serving as a vital source of bioavailable cobalt. This compound is essential in applications where controlled cobalt delivery and chelation stability are required. It is primarily utilized in the animal nutrition, pharmaceutical intermediates, and specialty chemical synthesis industries.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: As a trace mineral source in premixes for ruminants and other livestock to prevent cobalt deficiency.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of specific cobalt-containing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents.
• Nutritional Supplements: A component in specialized vitamin-mineral formulations requiring highly bioavailable cobalt.
• Catalyst Precursor: Serves as a starting material or ligand in homogeneous catalysis for organic synthesis reactions.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical and nutritional studies as a standardized cobalt source.
• Electroplating Solutions: Used in specialized electroplating baths to deposit cobalt alloys.
