D-Lactic acid, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Useful chiral synthon, building block for depsipeptides

D-(-)-Lactic acid is a useful biochemical for proteomics research. It is also used in the production of chiral drug and in the chemical synthesis. Lactic acid is used as a reagent in organic synthesis (in the manufacture of adhesives). It is used in the leather, textile, and tanning industries. It may be used as a plasticizer, a catalyst, or an acidifying agent. Lactic acid has even been used as a flavoring agent in the manufacture of tobacco products.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
