1. What is the CAS number of Fmoc-Gly-OH?
The CAS number is 29022-11-3. This identifier is essential for ordering, inventory documentation, and accessing safety data sheets.
2. How should Fmoc-Gly-OH be stored?
Store in a tightly closed container at 2–8 °C, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated exposure to warm conditions to prevent degradation.
3. Can Fmoc-Gly-OH be used in microwave-assisted SPPS?
Yes, it tolerates temperatures up to 70 °C in DMF without notable racemization. Use a 2–3 fold excess and short coupling cycles for best results.
4. What is the recommended coupling concentration?
A 0.2–0.5 M solution in DMF is standard. For difficult sequences or high resin loading, increase to 3–5 equivalents to ensure complete coupling.
5. Does this product contain residual bases or salts?
No. The purification process removes residual bases and salts. Each batch is tested for conductivity and endotoxins, with typical endotoxin levels below 0.25 EU/g.
6. Is Fmoc-Gly-OH suitable for GMP production?
Yes, when paired with the provided documentation (COA, MSDS, quality agreement), it is acceptable as a raw material for GMP-produced peptides. Contact technical support for qualification details.
7. What impurities are commonly present?
Typical impurities include free glycine, Fmoc-Gly-Gly, and trace residual solvents. Our specification limits each single impurity to ≤0.1% and total impurities to ≤1.0%.
8. Can it be used with automated peptide synthesizers?
Absolutely. The controlled particle size and consistent purity allow reliable dispensing and reproducible coupling cycles, which are critical for automated platforms.
Compared with standard-grade Fmoc-Gly-OH, Baishixing’s product offers tighter purity specifications, lower endotoxin limits, and comprehensive batch documentation. While generic suppliers deliver acceptable-quality reagents, Baishixing focuses on minimizing batch-to-batch variability—a critical factor for scale-up and clinical-stage synthesis. This product is particularly suited for pharmaceutical R&D teams, CROs, and GMP-oriented manufacturing sites that require high consistency, full traceability, and regulatory compliance. For researchers who value reproducible results and strict quality control, this reagent provides a cost-effective alternative without compromising performance.
