Description

D-Glucuronic Acid is a vital uronic acid derived from glucose, playing a crucial role in detoxification and metabolic conjugation pathways. Its primary commercial value lies in its function as a key intermediate and building block for synthesizing bioactive compounds, dietary supplements, and high-value biochemicals. This product is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and fine chemical industries seeking a reliable source of high-purity material.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) analogs and various glycosylated drugs.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Used in formulations targeting liver health and detoxification support due to its role in glucuronidation.
• Biochemical Research: Essential substrate for studying enzyme kinetics (e.g., glucuronidases) and metabolic conjugation processes in vitro.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Employed in the production of hyaluronic acid and other skin-active glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Building block for producing surfactants, chelating agents, and specialty polymers.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control in pharmaceutical and food testing laboratories.

Quality Control

Our D-Glucuronic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and potency. We provide full traceability and support our products with detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA), which are available upon request. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, ensuring reliability for critical applications.

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 prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to caking or degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
