Description

D-Glucose 6-Phosphate Barium Salt is a high-purity biochemical reagent, a barium salt derivative of the essential metabolic intermediate glucose-6-phosphate. This compound is critical for research and industrial processes requiring a stable, water-soluble source of the glucose-6-phosphate moiety. It serves as a fundamental substrate for enzymatic assays, diagnostic reagent formulation, and biochemical research in metabolic pathways. Key industries that rely on this material include life science research, in-vitro diagnostics, and pharmaceutical development.

Application

• Enzymatic Assay Substrate: Used as a key reagent in spectrophotometric and fluorometric assays for enzymes like glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and hexokinase.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: A vital component in the formulation of clinical diagnostic kits for measuring glucose, ATP, and related metabolites.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in studies of glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and carbohydrate metabolism in cell biology and physiology.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex bioactive molecules and potential therapeutics.
• Cell Culture & Microbiology: Used in defined media and nutrient solutions for specialized microbial or cell culture applications.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control in pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries.

Quality Control

Our D-Glucose 6-Phosphate Barium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the high standards required for research and diagnostic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications including assay, optical rotation, and impurity profiles are available for every lot. We support compliance with relevant pharmacopeial guidelines where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and purity. Avoid prolonged exposure to air during handling.
