Glycine Zinc Salt Monohydrate – Catalog Number: B2015140 (1 g)

Glycine Zinc Salt Monohydrate (also known as zinc glycinate monohydrate) is provided as a biotechnology-grade solid in a defined 1 g amount (Catalog B2015140) with a listed molecular weight of 231.52. As stated by the supplier, it is used as a molecular tool for various biochemical applications and stored at RT. The concise specification set—including amount, supplied-as, and molecular weight—supports clear documentation and straightforward SOP integration for chemical and immunological workflows.

As a zinc–amino acid complex, glycine zinc salt monohydrate offers a well-defined source of zinc coordinated to a simple ligand framework. In research settings, such materials are commonly incorporated into exploratory protocols that map buffer compatibility, metal–ligand handling, or general method performance where a characterized zinc compound is desired. The solid format enables flexible preparation of stocks in user-selected media, precise mass-based dosing, and convenient aliquoting for cross-platform testing. Because the product is designated biotechnology grade—with solutions prepared using Type I ultrapure water and 0.22 µm filtration—labs can align usage with expectations for low background and reproducible behavior in bench-scale experiments.

Typical use scenarios include pilot studies of zinc–binding interactions, controls during method qualification, or inclusion as a reference component when comparing workflow conditions. Practical considerations for best results include documenting lot information, minimizing moisture uptake during weighing, and recording solvent/pH details when preparing solutions for consistency across runs. Within these boundaries, the reagent functions as a reliable, clearly specified component for biochemical and chemical research applications that require a defined zinc compound without prescribing a particular downstream protocol.

Why researchers choose this product:

• Defined 1 g amount with listed molecular weight 231.52 for precise documentation
• Ready-to-dissolve solid format for flexible buffer selection and dosing
• Specified storage at RT for convenient day-to-day handling
• Biotechnology-grade preparation (Type I water; 0.22 µm filtration for solutions)
• Listed synonym: Zinc Glycinate Monohydrate for searchability and SOP clarity

This product is for Research Use Only (RUO). It is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
