Appearance: Sodium pyruvate is white or off-white crystalline powder.
Solubility: Sodium pyruvate is easily soluble in water and very slightly soluble in ethanol.
Application: Sodium pyruvate is often used as a medium for cell culture as a source of energy. Furthermore, Giandomenico et al. found that sodium pyruvate also protected cells from damage, a function that has been confirmed by many other groups.
Function: Sodium pyruvate is necessary for metabolic life activities in the daily life of the human body. Similar substances, such as glucose and sodium lactate, are similar to substances that participate in body metabolic activities and provide energy for the human body. In the human body, most cells only use glucose. Sodium pyruvate is an essential substance in cell culture. Sodium pyruvate acts as an alternative carbon source in the medium and participates in cell nutrient metabolism.
