Description

L-Hexaguluronic Acid Hexasodium Salt is a high-purity, water-soluble polysaccharide derivative, specifically the sodium salt form of a hexameric uronic acid unit. This compound is valued for its precise chemical structure and consistent performance as a functional intermediate in advanced biochemical synthesis and material science. It is essential for research and development laboratories, pharmaceutical excipient formulation, and specialized cosmetic ingredient production requiring controlled rheological properties.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Serves as a defined oligosaccharide standard or substrate for enzymatic studies, particularly in glycosidase and lyase assays.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used in the development of controlled-release drug delivery systems and as a stabilizer or viscosity modifier in injectable formulations.
• Cosmetic Science: Functions as a high-performance skin-conditioning agent and film-former in premium serums and moisturizers.
• Biomaterial Fabrication: Acts as a building block for synthesizing hydrogels and scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Employed as a certified reference material (CRM) for quality control in the analysis of complex polysaccharides.
• Food Science R&D: Investigated for its potential as a texturizing and gelling agent in novel food products.

Quality Control

Our L-Hexaguluronic Acid Hexasodium Salt is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific data are available upon request.

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 each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
