Description

Sarcosine Hydrochloride CAS NO 637-96-7 is a high-purity organic salt derived from the amino acid sarcosine, serving as a versatile and critical building block in advanced chemical synthesis. Its primary value lies in its role as a key intermediate for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty surfactants, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount. This product is essential for research institutions, fine chemical manufacturers, and industrial producers operating in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and biotechnology sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including antibiotics and enzyme inhibitors.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reagent in peptide synthesis and as a component in cell culture media and biochemical studies.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for manufacturing herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection agents.
• Surfactant & Detergent Formulation: Acts as an intermediate for producing amphoteric and anionic surfactants used in personal care and industrial cleaning products.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Employed in the synthesis of conditioning agents and mild surfactants for shampoos and skin cleansers.
• Chemical Synthesis: Utilized in organic synthesis for introducing the sarcosyl (N-methylglycyl) moiety into more complex molecules.

Quality Control

Our Sarcosine Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive quality assurance, with testing protocols that may include identification, assay, impurity profiling, and residual solvent analysis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available for every batch upon request, supporting compliance in regulated industries.

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.
