- Industrial formulations requiring a water-soluble pyruvate salt
- If you tell me your target market (EU/US/Middle East), I can align the “grade wording” more strictly to local compliance language.
Storage Conditions
- Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse; keep containers tightly sealed.
- Protect from moisture (hygroscopic materials may cake).
- Recommended storage: 0–10 °C refrigerated for best stability is commonly suggested by suppliers; avoid heat.
- Keep away from contamination and strong oxidizers.
Safety Precautions
- Avoid dust generation and inhalation; use local ventilation and a dust mask/respirator when needed.
- Wear protective gloves and safety goggles; wash hands after handling.
- First aid (general): rinse eyes with water for several minutes; wash skin with soap and water; move to fresh air if inhaled.
- SDS can be provided upon request.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
How is Sodium Pyruvate (CAS 113-24-6) chemically characterized for industrial verification?
A: Sodium Pyruvate is the organic sodium salt of pyruvic acid, identified by the CAS 113-24-6 registry. It is distinct from its free acid form or ester derivatives and is verified through analysis of its C3H3NaO3 stoichiometry and specific solubility profiles in aqueous solutions. -
Q:
What is the primary function of Sodium Pyruvate in industrial fermentation and cell culture systems?
A: In bioprocessing applications, this compound is intended for use as an auxiliary energy source and metabolic intermediate. It functions to facilitate cellular respiration and reduce toxic peroxide accumulation within controlled biological manufacturing environments.
