General description
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. Glycerol provides a high boiling point, low flammability, and polarity. Glycerol is non-toxic, biodegradable, and comes from a renewable feedstock, thus it aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries", "Use of Renewable Feedstocks", and "Design for Degradation". Click here for more information.
Application
Glycerol can be used in a broad range of applications:
- Sample preparation and gel formation for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
- It is used to aid in casting gradient gels and as a protein stabilizer and storage buffer component
- As a solvent in organic synthesis, such as Huisgen cycloaddition of azides
- In pharmaceutical and personal care industries as a humectant and for improved smoothness
Features and Benefits
- ASTM D6866 - Standard Test Methods for Determining the Biobased Content
- Renewable Carbon Content – ≥99.9%
- Made from Renewable Resource –Palm oil
