About Glycocholic Acid

Glycocholic Acid (CAS 475-31-0) is a high-purity reference standard of Glycocholic Acid offered by Vaqora Chemicals. The compound has the formula C26H43NO6, corresponding to a molecular weight of 465.6 g/mol. Common synonyms include Cholylglycine and N-Choloylglycine.

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. Under GHS it is labelled “Warning”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

As a reference sample of Glycocholic Acid, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. Typical end-use sectors are 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.
