Potassium pyruvate is a salt of pyruvic acid that has a variety of uses.
1. Similar to sodium pyruvate CAS 4151-33-1, potassium pyruvate is used as an energy source and buffer in cell culture media. Sodium pyruvate supports cell growth and metabolism in laboratory environments.
2. Sodium pyruvate CAS 4151-33-1 is used in metabolism research to study cellular respiration and energy production as it plays a vital role in the conversion of glucose into energy.
3. Potassium pyruvate is sometimes marketed as a dietary supplement, especially for weight loss and exercise. Sodium pyruvate CAS 4151-33-1 is believed to enhance energy metabolism and may help improve endurance during physical activity.
4. Sodium pyruvate can be used in certain drug formulations, especially intravenous solutions, to provide energy and support metabolic function.
5. Potassium pyruvate CAS 4151-33-1 can be used as a food additive or preservative, although this application is less common than its use in research and supplements.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To store potassium pyruvate safely and effectively.
1. Store potassium pyruvate CAS 4151-33-1 in tightly sealed containers made of appropriate materials, such as glass or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Ensure that the containers are clearly labeled.
2. Keep potassium pyruvate in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature (15°C to 25°C or 59°F to 77°F). Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity, as moisture can affect the quality of the compound.
3. Protect potassium pyruvate CAS 4151-33-1 from direct sunlight and strong light, as light exposure can degrade the compound.
4 .Store in a well-ventilated area to prevent the accumulation of dust and to ensure safety during handling.
5. Keep potassium pyruvate CAS 4151-33-1 away from strong oxidizing agents and acids to prevent any potential reactions.
6. When handling or transferring potassium pyruvate, use appropriate PPE, including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, to minimize exposure.
7. Have spill containment measures in place, such as absorbent materials, to manage any accidental spills.
8. Follow local regulations for the disposal of potassium pyruvate CAS 4151-33-1 and any contaminated materials.
