Glutathione is supplied as a lyophilized powder, 1500 mg per vial, at ≥99% purity by HPLC. Identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry, and a lot-specific certificate of analysis is available for download. The compound is a tripeptide, gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine, reduced form.
Three ways the 1500 mg vial fits a research order
In-vitro work needing a documented tripeptide
The reduced form is stated on the label and on the certificate of analysis for the lot. Molecular formula C10H17N3O6S and CAS 70-18-8 allow the material to be matched against a protocol before ordering.
Method work that requires a purity figure with its method
Purity is ≥99% by HPLC, and identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry. Both figures appear on the certificate of analysis issued per lot, so the method is never separated from the number.
Single-line purchase orders at an institution
One vial holds 1500 mg, priced at $109.99 CAD. The item is sold to laboratories and qualified researchers only, for research use only.
Choosing the 1500 mg vial of glutathione
This compound is listed in one quantity: 1500 mg per vial, lyophilized. There are no smaller or larger fills in this listing, so a purchasing officer comparing options is comparing quantity per vial against a documented purity figure rather than choosing a size. Laboratories that consume the material across several experiments, or that prefer one lot number covering a series of assays, will find a single 1500 mg fill simpler to trace than multiple small vials.
Details of the 1500 mg glutathione vial
