Acetic Acid (Biochemistry Grade)

Acetic acid is a colourless, pungent-smelling liquid with the chemical formula CH3COOH. It is also known as ethanoic acid and is the second simplest carboxylic acid after formic acid.

Acetic acid is an important industrial chemical and is used in the production of various chemicals such as vinyl acetate monomer, acetic anhydride, and cellulose acetate. In biochemistry, acetic acid is a key metabolite involved in cellular respiration and is produced by the oxidation of glucose or other carbohydrates. It is also a component of the citric acid cycle, which is the primary metabolic pathway for the production of ATP, the energy currency of cells.

Acetic acid is widely used in the food industry as a preservative, flavouring agent, and pH regulator.

In its biochemistry grade, acetic acid is highly purified and free of impurities that may interfere with biochemical reactions. It is commonly used in molecular biology, protein purification, and other biochemical applications.
