Description

3-Phosphoglyceric Acid Barium Salt is a key biochemical reagent and a stable salt form of the essential metabolic intermediate 3-phosphoglyceric acid. This compound is critical for research and development in enzymology and metabolic pathway studies, offering a non-acidic, solid alternative to the free acid. It is primarily utilized by biochemical manufacturers, academic research institutions, and pharmaceutical R&D departments for use as a standard, substrate, or precursor in enzymatic assays and synthesis.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard in the study of glycolysis and the Calvin cycle.
• Enzyme Substrate: Serves as a critical substrate for enzymes such as phosphoglycerate kinase and phosphoglycerate mutase in kinetic and mechanistic studies.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Incorporated into the formulation of diagnostic kits and reagents for clinical and research laboratories.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Acts as a potential building block or precursor in the synthesis of more complex bioactive molecules and prodrugs.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Employed in in vitro systems to trace and analyze central carbon metabolism and energy production pathways.
• Cell Culture & Media Supplement: Used in specialized cell culture media formulations to study cellular metabolism under defined conditions.

Quality Control

Our 3-Phosphoglyceric Acid Barium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for assay, impurities, and other critical parameters are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
