Guanidinium acetate

Guanidinium acetate (CAS 593-87-3), also known commercially as guanidine acetate, is the acetate salt form of guanidine.

Where is Guanidinium acetate used?

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing: intermediate or excipient in synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients requiring guanidine chemistry
• Biotechnology and life sciences: protein denaturation and renaturation protocols under controlled chaotropic conditions
• Agricultural formulations: feed additive and fertilizer preparations supporting nitrogen delivery
• Analytical and diagnostic reagents: buffering capacity for stable pH throughout laboratory processing
• It functions as a buffering agent and controlled source of guanidinium ions where pH stability and ionic environment are critical.

Commercial specifications

• Purity typically 98% upward depending on application
• Packaging scales from laboratory quantities to bulk industrial supply
