Description

Acetic acid (ethanoic acid) is a weak organic acid commonly utilized in research as a buffering, solvent, and pH-adjusting agent.
At a 0.6% concentration, this sterile solution provides a controlled mildly acidic environment suitable for peptide solubilization, compound reconstitution, and stabilization of labile biomolecules.

In biochemical research, dilute acetic acid is often used to:

• Adjust the pH of peptide and protein solutions prior to HPLC or lyophilization,

• Serve as a solvent system for hydrophobic amino acids and peptides, and

• Support microbial culture preparation, reagent stabilization, and sample extraction protocols.

Its low concentration in this formulation allows for safe handling and compatibility with a broad range of biological reagents and excipients used in laboratory settings.

Intended Use

This product is intended for laboratory research use only.
It is not for human consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications.
All handling should be performed by qualified professionals in a controlled research environment.

Key Research Applications

• pH control and buffering for peptide and protein reconstitution

• Solvent and diluent for small-molecule or peptide preparations

• Studies involving acid-mediated compound solubilization and stabilization

• General laboratory use in analytical chemistry and biochemical formulation
