3,4-Dideoxyglucosone-3-ene
Heat sterilisation of glucose-containing solutions generates reactive carbonyl species, and 3,4-Dideoxyglucosone-3-ene is among the most studied of them. It forms from glucose degradation and is a light yellow oil of formula C6H8O4 and molecular weight 144.13. Laboratories assessing peritoneal dialysis fluids, infusion solutions or other carbohydrate-containing formulations use this reference standard to identify the compound in chromatographic runs, to validate methods intended to quantify it, and to examine how it behaves during storage of such products. Because the molecule is reactive, cold storage and prompt use of working solutions are usual practice. Pack sizes listed for this item are 5 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg. Store at -20 +/- 5 C and ship with ice packs. A quotation or further documentation can be requested.
