Description

Bapta-Am is a high-purity, specialized chelating agent and biochemical reagent derived from the BAPTA family. This compound is critical for applications requiring precise control of calcium ion (Ca²⁺) concentrations in biological and chemical systems. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical development, and advanced material synthesis sectors. Its reliable performance makes it an essential component for processes demanding high specificity and low metal contamination.

Application

• Calcium Chelation in Biochemical Research: Used as a selective calcium buffer in cell physiology studies, enzyme assays, and intracellular signaling research.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agents and diagnostic tools.
• Analytical Reagent: Employed in analytical chemistry for the selective complexometric titration and detection of calcium ions.
• Polymer and Material Science: Acts as a functional monomer or additive to create smart materials with ion-responsive properties.
• Cell Culture Media Supplement: Used to maintain specific, low concentrations of free calcium in specialized cell culture applications.
• Industrial Process Control: Applied in processes where the removal or sequestration of calcium ions is necessary to prevent scaling or interference.

Quality Control

Every batch of Bapta-Am is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive research and production applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA), including purity by HPLC, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiles, is supplied with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
