Description

1-Octanoyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and biochemical reagent derived from glucose and octanoic acid. This compound matters for its role as a mild, biodegradable detergent and a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex glycolipids and specialty surfactants. It is needed by manufacturers in the life sciences, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for applications requiring gentle, sugar-based surfactants with specific chain lengths.

Application

• As a mild, non-ionic detergent for membrane protein solubilization and purification in biochemical research.
• As a key synthetic intermediate in the production of more complex alkyl glycosides and glycolipids.
• As a biodegradable surfactant component in cosmetic and personal care formulations, such as cleansers and shampoos.
• In the study of enzyme kinetics and lipid metabolism as a substrate or model compound.
• For the preparation of specialty emulsifiers in niche industrial and agrochemical applications.
• As a pharmaceutical excipient or permeation enhancer in advanced drug delivery system development.

Quality Control

Our 1-Octanoyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity.
