Similar products are Product Nos. 50020, G6376 and G1150.
Glycerol 2-phosphate disodium salt hydrate, Product G9891, is "cell culture tested". What does that mean for this product?
Growth studies are carried through two subculture generations at 0.1 mg/mL. Cells are counted, and growth is plotted as a logarithmic function of time in culture. Seeding efficiencies, doubling time, and final cell densities are determined. During the testing period, cultures are examined microscopically for atypical morphology and evidence of cytotoxicity.
What is the solution stability of Glycerol 2-phosphate disodium salt hydrate, Product G9891?
β-Glycerophosphate undergoes very slow hydrolysis at 100°C in 1 M hydrochloric acid. The implication is that solutions would be relatively stable at acidic pH.
What is the water content in Glycerol 2-phosphate disodium salt hydrate, Product G9891?
The water content can vary from lot to lot. It is typically in the range of 24-31%. The information can be found on the lot-specific certificate of analysis.
What is Glycerol 2-phosphate disodium salt hydrate, Product G9891, used for?
β-glycerophosphate is used in cell culture as an inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase. It is routinely used in culture of osteoblast/osteoclast cell lines where the activity of alkaline phosphatase needs to be inhibited (measurement of phosphorylated proteins, etc). A search on PubMed lists over 2500 articles citing "glycerophosphate" and "culture". Most references are for induction of bone lineage cells or for inhibition of phosphatase activity in other types of cell culture.
