Description

Isoglycitein is a specialized isoflavone compound, a structural isomer of glycitein, known for its distinct biological activity profile. This high-purity phytochemical is valued for its role as a key reference standard and active ingredient in advanced research and development. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical industries, where precise compound identity and purity are critical for product efficacy and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification, assay, and impurity profiling of related isoflavone products in quality control laboratories.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Incorporated into dietary supplements targeting hormonal balance, bone health, and antioxidant support, often in combination with other soy isoflavones.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a critical reagent in in vitro and in vivo studies investigating estrogen receptor modulation, anti-inflammatory pathways, and metabolic syndrome.
• Cosmeceutical Active: Utilized in advanced skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant and skin-soothing properties, contributing to anti-aging and protective product lines.
• Analytical Chemistry: Essential for developing and validating analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, LC-MS) for the quantification of isoflavones in complex matrices like plant extracts and finished products.

Quality Control

Our Isoglycitein is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substance determination, to meet the stringent requirements for research and production use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or storing under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
