What is the difference between Fmoc-Gly-OH and Boc-Gly-OH?
Fmoc-Gly-OH uses a base-labile Fmoc group removed by piperidine, while Boc-Gly-OH uses an acid-labile Boc group removed by TFA. Fmoc chemistry is milder and more common in modern SPPS.
How should Fmoc-Gly-OH be stored to maintain its quality?
Store at 2–8 °C in a tightly sealed container, protected from moisture and light. Under these conditions, the product remains stable for 24 months.
What is the solubility of Fmoc-Gly-OH in common solvents?
It is freely soluble in DMF (dimethylformamide) and DCM (dichloromethane). It shows limited solubility in THF and is insoluble in water.
Can Fmoc-Gly-OH be used for solution-phase peptide synthesis as well?
Yes. While it is optimized for solid-phase synthesis, the same product works in solution-phase coupling using standard reagents like HATU, HBTU, or DCC/HOBt.
What quality documentation is provided with each shipment?
Each batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), an HPLC chromatogram, a mass spectrometry report, and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Additional documents are available on request.
Does Baishixing offer GMP-grade Fmoc-Gly-OH?
Yes. GMP-grade material is manufactured under a separate quality system with enhanced documentation. Contact the sales team to discuss GMP requirements and audit support.
What is the typical lead time for a 25 kg order?
Standard lead time is 7–15 days from confirmed order to dispatch for standard specifications, depending on the destination and shipping method chosen. Custom specifications may require 20–30 days.
Fmoc-Gly-OH from Baishixing addresses the two most common pain points in peptide synthesis procurement: quality inconsistency and supply chain friction. Unlike generic amino acid suppliers who resell materials from multiple origins, Baishixing operates a dedicated production line for Fmoc-protected amino acids, which gives full control over purity (≥ 99%), enantiomeric excess (≥ 99.5%), and traceability from raw material to finished product. For research groups and manufacturers who need verified quality, GMP-grade options, and reliable factory-direct logistics without distributor surcharges, this product delivers a transparent and cost-effective solution. It is particularly suited for projects with stringent impurity standards, including generic peptide drug development, regulated production environments, and multi-batch clinical trial manufacturing.
