Description

Inositol Hexasulfate is a highly sulfated derivative of inositol, a naturally occurring sugar alcohol. This compound is valued for its strong anionic character and chelating properties, making it a versatile intermediate and functional agent in advanced chemical synthesis. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, biochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring polyanionic activity or specific metal ion binding.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and synthesis of novel therapeutic agents, particularly those targeting polyanion-dependent biological pathways.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a tool compound in enzymology and cell biology studies to investigate the role of inositol phosphates and their sulfated analogs.
• Chelating Agent: Functions as a potent chelator for polyvalent metal ions in analytical chemistry and specialized formulation processes.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key building block for creating surfactants, ion-exchange materials, or other functional polymers with sulfated groups.

Quality Control

Our Inositol Hexasulfate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, impurity profile, and moisture content is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Recommended long-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C).
