Sodium butyrate is a salt of butyric acid that has a variety of important applications, especially in nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and research.
1. Sodium butyrate CAS 156-54-7 is often used as a dietary supplement, especially in animal feed, to promote intestinal health. It provides energy for colonocytes (colon cells) and helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal lining.
2. Sodium butyrate is well known to benefit gut health, including promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, reducing inflammation, and improving gut barrier function.
3. Sodium butyrate CAS 156-54-7 has been studied for the treatment of a variety of diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), obesity, and metabolic disorders. It may also have anti-cancer properties and is currently being studied for its role in cancer treatment.
4. In laboratory settings, sodium butyrate is often used in cell culture studies as an inhibitor of histone deacetylase. This property makes it very useful in studies related to gene expression, differentiation, and cancer biology.
5. Sodium butyrate CAS 156-54-7 can be used as a food additive to enhance flavor and preserve food, although this is less common than other applications.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To store sodium butyrate safely and effectively.
1. Use airtight containers made of suitable materials, such as glass or high-density polyethylene. Make sure the container is clearly labeled with the name of the chemical and any relevant hazard information.
2. Store sodium butyrate CAS 156-54-7 in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.
3. Maintain storage temperature within the recommended range, typically 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
4. Please keep sodium butyrate CAS 156-54-7 away from incompatible substances, such as strong oxidants and acids. Sodium butyrate should also be stored separately from food and beverages.
5. Use secondary controls, such as spill trays, to control any potential spills or leaks.
6. Access to storage areas is restricted to trained personnel only. Ensure appropriate safety equipment (e.g. fire extinguishers and spill kits) is available.
7. Regularly inspect storage areas and containers for signs of leaks, damage or deterioration.
