    Product Description

    Sodium Pyruvate is the sodium salt of pyruvic acid, CAS 113-24-6, with the molecular formula C3H3NaO3.

    Synonyms: Sodium 2-oxopropanoate; Pyruvic acid sodium salt; Sodium alpha-ketopropionate; 2-Oxopropanoic acid sodium salt; Sodium 2-oxopropionate.

    CAS: 113-24-6.

    It has the molecular formula C3H3NaO3 and a molecular weight of 110.04 g/mol.

    It is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder.

    It dissolves readily in water, with reported solubility of about 32% w/w, and is odorless.

    A 10% aqueous solution has a pH of about 7.

    It decomposes above about 300 °C and is hygroscopic, so it can absorb moisture.

    It serves as an auxiliary energy source and metabolic intermediate in cell culture.

    It can enter central carbon metabolism to support cellular respiration and may help reduce hydrogen peroxide accumulation.

    It is used as a cell-culture supplement and as a substrate in fermentation.

    It is used as a pyruvate ingredient in selected food, beverage and nutrition products where permitted.

    Food and industrial grades allow buyers to choose a purity and testing profile suitable for the intended process.

    Industrial grade is normally a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder with purity and residue limits defined by the supplier COA.

    Confirm appearance, purity, moisture, pH, residue limits and solubility.

    Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from moisture and direct sunlight; reseal after use and avoid heat and strong oxidizers.

    Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      What is Sodium Pyruvate CAS 113-24-6?

      A: Sodium Pyruvate is the sodium salt of pyruvic acid, with the molecular formula C3H3NaO3 and CAS number 113-24-6. It is normally a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder with high water solubility and is used as a pyruvate source in bioprocessing, fermentation and nutrition-related formulations.
    • Q:

      Why is Sodium Pyruvate added to cell culture media?

      A: In cell culture, sodium pyruvate serves as an auxiliary energy source and metabolic intermediate. It can enter central carbon metabolism to support cellular respiration and may help reduce hydrogen peroxide accumulation, so it is often included in media for sensitive or high-energy-demand cells.
    • Q:

      What is the difference between Sodium Pyruvate and pyruvic acid?

      A: Pyruvic acid is the free acid form, while sodium pyruvate is its more stable, water-soluble sodium salt. The salt form is easier to handle and formulate into aqueous media, and it avoids the stronger acidity and handling concerns associated with the free acid.
    • Q:

      What are the main application areas of Sodium Pyruvate?

      A: Sodium Pyruvate is used as a cell-culture supplement, as a substrate in fermentation, and as a pyruvate ingredient in selected food, beverage and nutrition products where permitted. Industrial and food grades allow buyers to choose a purity and testing profile suitable for the intended process.
    • Q:

      How should Sodium Pyruvate be stored?

      A: Sodium Pyruvate should be kept tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area and protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Since it is water-soluble and can absorb moisture, containers should be resealed after use and storage conditions should follow the supplier's label guidance for the selected grade.
