Description

Hexakis-6-Bromo-6-Deoxy-α-Cyclodextrin is a chemically modified derivative of α-cyclodextrin where each of the six primary hydroxyl groups is substituted with a bromine atom. This modification significantly enhances its properties as a molecular host, making it a valuable tool for creating inclusion complexes with a wide range of guest molecules. It is particularly sought after by researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications in solubility enhancement, stabilization, and controlled release systems.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Formulation: Used to improve the aqueous solubility, stability, and bioavailability of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) through host-guest complexation.
• Catalysis & Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a supramolecular catalyst or a reaction medium modifier in organic synthesis, leveraging its hydrophobic cavity to influence reaction rates and selectivity.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a chiral selector or a stationary phase modifier in chromatographic techniques like HPLC and capillary electrophoresis for the separation of enantiomers.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Enhances the stability and efficacy of pesticides and herbicides by encapsulating active ingredients, potentially reducing environmental degradation.
• Material Science: Acts as a building block for constructing advanced functional materials, such as molecular sensors, polymers, and nano-carriers.
• Flavor & Fragrance Encapsulation: Used to protect volatile or sensitive flavor and fragrance compounds from oxidation and evaporation, prolonging their shelf life.

Quality Control

Our Hexakis-6-Bromo-6-Deoxy-α-Cyclodextrin is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and assay, NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture content. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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.
