Description

n-Methylglucamine Gluconate is a high-purity organic salt derived from the combination of N-methyl-D-glucamine and gluconic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent chelating properties and biocompatibility, making it a critical component in formulations requiring effective metal ion sequestration. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and specialty chemical industries for applications ranging from stabilizers to active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a stabilizer, buffering agent, or metal chelator in injectable and ophthalmic formulations to enhance product shelf-life and compatibility.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a gentle chelating agent in skincare products, shampoos, and creams to improve stability and efficacy by binding hard water ions.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the formulation of contrast agents and biochemical assay kits due to its ability to complex with specific metal ions.
• Industrial Cleaning & Chelation: Acts as an effective, biodegradable chelant in industrial cleaning solutions and water treatment processes.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a chiral auxiliary or intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Quality Control

Our n-Methylglucamine Gluconate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture, which may affect stability and handling properties.
