Glycolic Acid Analysis Service

Glycolic acid is also known as hydroacetic acid or hydroxyacetic acid. The chemical formula of glycolic acid is C2H4O3 and also written as HOCH2CO2H. It is the simplest α-hydroxy acid. Glycolic acid is highly soluble in water and is colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic crystalline solid. The glycolate is the form of salt or ester of glycolic acid. Glycolic acid can be found in some sugar-crops and used in various skin-care products. Glycolic acid can be synthesized by multiple routes. The major economical route to supply the glycolic acid in the world is the catalyzed reaction of formaldehyde with synthesis gas, which is also known as carbonylation of formaldehyde. Glycolic acid can also be prepared through an enzymatic biochemical process. However, the glycolic acid produced from the enzymatic biochemical process is fewer impurities compared to traditional chemical synthesis.

Glycolic acid Analysis Service

Scientists at Creative Proteomics utilize a highly quantitative method with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of Glycolic acid levels in various samples, including Tissue, Plant, Bacterial
, Cells and more. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) using a differential refractive index detector (RID) for the determination of Glycolic acid levels in a lot of biological samples.

Glycolic acid can be used as a dyeing and tanning agent in the textile industry. It is also served as a flavoring agent and as a preservative in food processing, as a skin care agent in the pharmaceutical industry. Glycolic acid is also used as adhesives and plastics in the field of industry. Glycolic acid is often supplied to solvents, emulsion polymers and additives for ink and paint as a result to improve flow properties and impart gloss. It is used to increase the coefficient of friction on tile flooring in surface treatment. Glycolic acid is also an important intermediate for a range of organic synthesis, including oxidation-reduction, long chain polymerization and esterification. Glycolic acid also can be used as a monomer to produce the polyglycolic acid and other biocompatible copolymers, which is also abbreviated as PLGA. Like ethylene glycol, glycolic acid is dangerous if ingested because it is metabolized to oxalic acid. It is a strong irritant depending on its pH levels.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist

"We had a pleasant collaboration with Creative Proteomics on mass spectrometry analysis of lipids. They conducted a detailed analysis of lipid species, providing us with important insights into lipid metabolism and its relationship with metabolic syndrome disease states."

Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Research Scientist
