Description

Gibberic Acid is a key intermediate in the synthesis of gibberellin plant hormones, a class of diterpenoid acids that regulate growth and development. This compound is valued for its role in producing high-purity, biologically active derivatives used in advanced agricultural and biochemical research. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories focused on plant growth regulators, fine chemical synthesis, and the development of novel agrochemicals.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: A critical precursor in the commercial synthesis of various gibberellins (e.g., GA3, GA4, GA7) used as plant growth regulators.
• Biochemical Research: Used in academic and industrial laboratories to study gibberellin biosynthesis pathways and hormone signaling mechanisms.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile building block for creating novel diterpenoid derivatives with potential pharmaceutical or agrochemical activity.
• Plant Tissue Culture: Employed in the formulation of specialized media to investigate and manipulate plant cell differentiation and morphogenesis.
• Seed Technology: Used in research to develop treatments for breaking seed dormancy and promoting uniform germination.

Quality Control

Our Gibberic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high chemical purity and consistency, with specifications tailored to meet the demands of synthesis and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
