Description

D-Lactic Acid Sodium Salt is the sodium salt form of D-lactic acid, a key chiral building block and biochemical. This high-purity compound is essential for applications requiring specific stereochemistry, offering superior consistency and performance over racemic mixtures. It is primarily utilized in pharmaceutical synthesis, advanced biochemical research, and as a specialized intermediate in the production of fine chemicals and agrochemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical chiral precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting specific enantiomeric activity.
• Biochemical Research: Used in enzymatic studies, metabolic pathway analysis, and as a standard for chiral chromatography in analytical laboratories.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for producing specialty chemicals, catalysts, and ligands where the D-isomer configuration is required.
• Agrochemical Formulation: Employed in the development of enantiomerically pure pesticides and herbicides for enhanced efficacy and environmental compatibility.
• Food & Beverage Additive (FCC Grade): Functions as a pH regulator, preservative, or flavor enhancer in specific food processing applications (subject to grade availability).
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a pH adjuster and mild exfoliant in advanced skincare formulations.

Quality Control

Our D-Lactic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards, with typical grades available including Pharmaceutical, Food (FCC), and Technical. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing parameters such as assay, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles. We can support compliance with relevant pharmacopoeial standards (e.g., USP, EP) upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
