Description

Product

Chemical Name: Aminoacetic acid / 2-Aminoethanoic acid
CAS Number: 56-40-6
Molecular Formula: C₂H₅NO₂ (Linear: NH₂CH₂COOH)
Molecular Weight: 75.07 g/mol
EC Number: 200-272-2 [1, 2, 3]

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: White, odorless, crystalline powder
Taste: Mildly sweet
Melting Point: 232–236 °C (decomposes upon melting)
Density: ~1.16 g/cm³
Solubility: Highly soluble in water (~25 g/100 mL at 25 °C); very slightly soluble in ethanol; insoluble in ether
pH (1% aqueous solution): 5.5 – 7.0
Acidity (pKa at 25 °C): $pK_a1 = 2.35$ (carboxyl), $pK_a2 = 9.60$ (amino) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Standard Quality & Purity Specifications

Depending on whether the material is intended for industrial, food, or pharmaceutical use, it typically adheres to the following parameters: [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Parameter [1, 2, 3, 4]	Specification Limit
Assay (Purity)	98.5% – 101.5% (calculated on anhydrous basis)
Loss on Drying	≤ 0.2%
Residue on Ignition (Sulfated Ash)	≤ 0.1%
Chloride (Cl)	≤ 0.007% (or 70 ppm)
Sulfate (SO₄)	≤ 0.0065% (or 65 ppm)
Heavy Metals (as Pb)	≤ 10 ppm (0.001%)
Iron (Fe)	≤ 10 ppm
Hydrolyzable Substances	Passes pharmacopeia tests

Special Grade Requirements

1. Pharmaceutical Grade (USP / Ph. Eur. / BP / JP) [ 1, 2]

Must comply with global pharmacopoeia testing standards such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.). This grade guarantees minimal elemental impurities, strict endotoxin controls (≤ 6.0 EU/g), and absence of foreign organic impurities. [ 1, 2, 3, 4]

2. Molecular Biology Grade

Requires complete absence of enzymatic contaminants to prevent experiment degradation: [ 1]

DNase / RNase / Protease: None detected
Bioburden: ≤ 100 CFU/g
UV Absorbance (0.05 M in H₂O): A₂₆₀ ≤ 0.07 AU; A₂₈₀ ≤ 0.07 AU [1, 2]

3. Food & Feed Grade (FCC) [ 1]

Complies with the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC). It is highly regulated for heavy metal limits (specifically lead, arsenic, and cadmium) and is commonly utilized as a flavor enhancer, modifier, or nutritional pet feed additive. [ 1, 2, 3, 4]
