Q1: What is the CAS number of Fmoc-Gly-OH?
Fmoc-Gly-OH has the CAS registry number 29022-11-3. This unique identifier is widely used in chemical databases, ordering systems and regulatory filings. It also helps your team to cross-check product identity when comparing offers from different suppliers, avoiding misprocurement errors. The number is printed on every certificate of analysis issued by the manufacturer.
Q2: How pure is the Fmoc-Gly-OH from this supplier?
It has a minimum purity of 99.0% as measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The exact area percentage and each known impurity are reported in the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. This transparency allows you to verify the material before use and maintain documentation for GMP or research audits.
Q3: Is Fmoc-Gly-OH stable at room temperature?
Fmoc-Gly-OH may be kept at room temperature for a few hours during weighing, but long-term storage must be at 2–8 °C in a tightly sealed container protected from light and moisture. Following these conditions, the product remains stable for at least two years from the date of manufacture according to the supplier’s stability study.
Q4: Can Fmoc-Gly-OH be dissolved in water?
No, Fmoc-Gly-OH is practically insoluble in water. For peptide coupling, dissolve it in anhydrous DMF, DCM, or THF. If a solution appears cloudy, filter it through a 0.45 µm PTFE membrane before adding to the reaction mixture to prevent blocking automated fluid lines.
Q5: Do you offer samples for evaluation?
Yes, qualified researchers can request a free 5 g sample. Send the supplier an inquiry including your institution, application, and expected monthly consumption. The sample batch will be shipped with a full COA, so you can perform your own HPLC and coupling tests before committing to a larger purchase.
Q6: What is the lead time for a 1 kg order?
Standard production and quality release require 5 working days for a 1 kg order, excluding transit time. For urgent projects, express courier delivery such as DHL or FedEx can shorten shipping to 3–5 business days, depending on the destination. Larger or custom-packed orders are planned after confirmation.
Q7: Does this product perform well in automated peptide synthesizers?
Yes, it is compatible with common automated peptide synthesizers because the powder is free-flowing and free of lumps. Each Certificate of Analysis includes particle size distribution and bulk density data, so you can confirm the material will feed consistently in powder dispersion systems. We recommend storing the bottle under dry conditions before loading the synthesizer to avoid moisture-related aggregation.
Compared with standard Fmoc-Gly-OH from other regions, this product offers a distinctive combination of tight impurity control and cost efficiency, driven by vertically integrated manufacturing. It is especially valuable for peptide manufacturers who need reproducible quality at scale, as well as for academic groups that require consistent reagent performance without budget overruns. For buyers evaluating long-term procurement, this Chinese-origin product balances quality documentation, availability, and price.
