Product Overview
Glycine AnalaR NORMAPUR® is a high-purity amino acid reagent designed for demanding laboratory applications where precision and consistency are critical. As the simplest amino acid with a single hydrogen atom as its side chain, glycine serves as a fundamental building block in biochemical research. This analytical-grade product undergoes rigorous purification processes to ensure minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive assays, electrophoresis, and protein sequencing. Its crystalline powder form dissolves readily in aqueous solutions, providing excellent solubility for buffer preparation and biochemical reactions. The AnalaR NORMAPUR® certification guarantees compliance with strict analytical standards, offering researchers confidence in their experimental results. This glycine variant maintains exceptional stability under standard laboratory conditions, though proper storage away from moisture and direct light is recommended to preserve its integrity. Its neutral pH and non-reactive nature make it particularly valuable in applications requiring inert conditions or precise pH control. Whether used as a standalone reagent or as a component in complex biochemical protocols, this glycine delivers consistent performance across diverse experimental setups.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between AnalaR NORMAPUR® grade and standard glycine?
The AnalaR NORMAPUR® grade undergoes additional purification steps and stricter quality control compared to standard glycine, resulting in higher purity levels and lower impurity profiles, which is essential for sensitive analytical applications.
2. Can this glycine be used for cell culture applications?
While glycine is commonly used in cell culture media, this specific AnalaR NORMAPUR® grade is primarily formulated for analytical and biochemical applications rather than cell culture, where tissue culture-grade reagents would be more appropriate.
3. What is the typical shelf life of this product when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original tightly sealed container, this glycine maintains its specified purity for at least 3 years from the date of manufacture.
4. Is this glycine suitable for preparing electrophoresis buffers?
Yes, the high purity and consistent quality of this AnalaR NORMAPUR® glycine make it well-suited for preparing electrophoresis buffers where precise composition is required for reliable results.
5. How does the crystalline form compare to glycine in solution for experimental use?
The crystalline form offers greater stability during storage and allows researchers to prepare fresh solutions at precise concentrations as needed, avoiding potential degradation that might occur in pre-made solutions over time.
