About Glucosamine

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Glucosamine, a high-purity reference standard of Glucosamine registered under CAS number 3416-24-8. Its molecular formula is C6H13NO5 and its molecular weight is 179.17 g/mol. The IUPAC name is (3R,4R,5S,6R)-3-amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxane-2,4,5-triol. Common synonyms include D-glucosamine and 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose.

It is supplied as a solid. Keep the vial tightly closed, protected from light and humidity, at the temperature stated on the Certificate of Analysis. Handle it with standard laboratory precautions and appropriate personal protective equipment.

As a reference sample of Glucosamine, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
