Description

Calcium D-Arabonate is a calcium salt derivative of D-arabinonic acid, a sugar acid. This specialized compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate and functional ingredient in advanced chemical synthesis and life science applications. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical sectors seeking high-purity chiral building blocks.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial chiral precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for nucleoside analogs and other therapeutic agents.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway research related to carbohydrate chemistry.
• Nutraceutical Formulations: Employed in the development of specialized mineral supplements and chelated nutrient complexes.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Functions as a stabilizing agent or a mild exfoliant in advanced skincare formulations.
• Food Science: Acts as a sequestrant or a calcium fortifier in specialized food products and dietary supplements.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a building block for producing other arabinonate derivatives, surfactants, and specialty polymers.

Quality Control

Our Calcium D-Arabonate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, optical rotation, heavy metals, and residual solvents. Specifications can be aligned with customer requirements for research, pharmaceutical development, or commercial production.

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 opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
