Description

2-[[2-(Dodecanoyl-Methyl-Amino)Acetyl]Amino]Ethanesulfonic Acid is a specialized amphoteric surfactant and zwitterionic buffer agent, valued for its unique combination of a long hydrophobic chain and a hydrophilic sulfonic acid group. This compound is particularly significant for its ability to stabilize pH in highly acidic or organic solvent-based systems where conventional buffers may fail. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and specialty chemical formulation sectors for advanced research and production processes.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Diagnostics: As a zwitterionic buffer component for electrophoresis, chromatography, and enzyme assays in non-aqueous or mixed solvent systems.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a stabilizing agent and excipient in drug delivery systems, particularly for pH-sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Specialty Surfactant Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate or functional component in the production of high-performance, custom amphoteric surfactants.
• Chemical Synthesis & Catalysis: Acts as a phase-transfer catalyst or reaction medium modifier in organic synthesis involving strong acids.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Potential use in advanced cosmetic formulations requiring mild, stable surfactants with specific solubility profiles.
• Industrial Cleaning & Detergents: Formulated into specialty cleaning agents designed for challenging environments with organic solvents.

Quality Control

Our production of 2-[[2-(Dodecanoyl-Methyl-Amino)Acetyl]Amino]Ethanesulfonic Acid adheres to a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and Karl Fischer titration for water content, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The container should be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials.
