About D-Gluconic acid 50%, solution

Vaqora Chemicals supplies D-Gluconic acid 50%, solution, a bioactive small molecule registered under CAS number 526-95-4. The compound has the formula C6H12O7, corresponding to a molecular weight of 196.16 g/mol. The IUPAC name is (2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanoic acid. It is also known as 2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxycaproic acid or gluconic acid.

The material typically appears as a colourless to light yellow and colourless to yellow liquid. Key physical data: a density of 1.234 g/mL at 25 °C. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for cell signalling research, pharmacological screening and target validation. It is used across academic and industrial research and diagnostics and biotechnology.

Standard pack sizes are 500 mL, 5 L, 4 x 25 kg and 250 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
