Description

Sinigrin Monohydrate is a glucosinolate compound, specifically the potassium salt of sinigrin, isolated from natural sources like black mustard seeds. This high-purity biochemical is a critical standard and reagent for research and development in life sciences and analytical chemistry. It is essential for laboratories and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and agricultural sectors requiring a reliable reference material for myrosinase activity studies, chemoprevention research, and analytical method development.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a high-purity standard for HPLC, LC-MS, and other chromatographic methods in quality control and research laboratories.
• Biochemical Research: Key substrate for studying myrosinase enzyme activity and the enzymatic hydrolysis that produces allyl isothiocyanate, a bioactive compound of interest.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Research: Investigated for its role as a precursor to sulforaphane analogs and its potential health benefits in dietary supplement development.
• Plant Defense & Agricultural Studies: Used in research on plant-pathogen interactions and the natural defense mechanisms of Brassicaceae family plants.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in research exploring chemopreventive and therapeutic agents.
• Enzyme Kinetics & Assay Development: Essential reagent for developing and validating assays to measure glucosinolate content and related enzyme activities.

Quality Control

Our Sinigrin Monohydrate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and standard applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and specific tests 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 controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider conditions of 2-8°C.
