What is the purity grade of this Fmoc-Gly-OH?
It meets ≥99% purity by HPLC, with every batch analysis provided in the Certificate of Analysis (CoA). Absolute quantification is performed using standard reference material.
Can this product be used directly in automated peptide synthesizers?
Yes. The powder is free-flowing and its moisture content is controlled to ≤0.5%, preventing clumping and maintaining consistent dissolution in NMP or DMF.
How do I confirm the optical purity of Fmoc-Gly-OH?
The specific rotation is –12.0° ± 1.0° (c=2 in DMF), and chiral HPLC analysis confirms a D-isomer content of ≤0.1%.
What storage conditions are recommended after opening?
Store the container in a vacuum desiccator at –20 °C, protected from light. Reseal immediately after use and flush with dry nitrogen or argon.
Is this product suitable for GMP production?
It is manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 guidelines. For GMP-compliant supply, please contact Baishixing to request a batch-specific questionnaire and drug master file (DMF) support.
Does the free amine form of glycine cause any interference in coupling?
No. The Fmoc group protects the α-amino group, and the carboxyl terminus is free for activation. Steric hindrance is minimal for glycine, making it a standard choice for fast coupling.
What is the shelf life if stored properly?
Verified shelf life is 36 months from production date under recommended conditions. Stability data is available on request.
Compared to standard commercial Fmoc-Gly-OH grades, this product from Baishixing offers a tightly controlled impurity profile, particularly low D-isomer content (≤0.1%) and a strictly defined melting range (172–176 °C), which are not typically specified on competing product certificates. The dedicated packaging under argon with moisture-control lining extends usability in humid environments. For researchers who require reproducible peptide yields, no batch-to-batch inconsistency, and verified analytical data, this Fmoc-Gly-OH formulation is a cost-effective and scientifically dependable choice. It is best suited for laboratories engaged in high-throughput synthesis, drug candidate optimization, and manufacturing process validation where raw material traceability matters.
