Description

5'-Inosinic Acid Barium Salt is a high-purity nucleotide salt, specifically the barium salt of inosinic acid (IMP). This compound serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard in the synthesis of flavor enhancers and pharmaceutical nucleotides. It is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the food additive, biotechnology, and life science sectors requiring precise nucleotide chemistry.

Application

• Flavor Enhancer Synthesis: A key precursor in the industrial production of disodium inosinate (IMP) and guanylate (GMP), which are widely used in savory foods, snacks, and seasonings.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and nucleotide-related biochemical assays.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with potential antiviral or anticancer activity.
• Cell Culture Media: A component in specialized cell culture formulations and diagnostic kits that require nucleotide sources.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a certified reference material (CRM) for quality control and analytical method development in food and pharmaceutical laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 5'-Inosinic Acid Barium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure high chemical purity and consistency, meeting the requirements for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment. We can support compliance with relevant standards such as FCC for food-grade applications 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 opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
