Lactobionic Acid CAS 96-82-2

1. Lactobionic acid CAS 96-82-2 is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) primarily used as a multifunctional excipient in pharmaceutical formulations for organ preservation solutions (e.g., University of Wisconsin solution) to reduce cold ischemia-reperfusion injury during organ transplantation .
2. Lactobionic Acid serves as a chelating agent for metal ions, a moisturizing agent in cosmetic and personal care products, and as a stabilizer in protein formulations due to its ability to prevent oxidative degradation .
3. In the food industry, lactobionic acid functions as an antioxidant, flavor enhancer, and mineral absorption promoter, and is utilized in dairy products and nutritional supplements .
4. Researchers employ Lactobionic Acid in drug delivery systems for targeted therapy, particularly in liver-targeted formulations, and as a component in tissue engineering scaffolds for cartilage and bone regeneration .

1. Lactobionic acid must be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, protected from light and moisture; recommended storage at 2-8°C or at room temperature in a cool, dark place .
2. Lactobionic Acid is classified with GHS hazard statements H315 (Causes skin irritation), H319 (Causes serious eye irritation), and H335 (May cause respiratory irritation), with signal word "Warning" .
3. Personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles with side-shields, and protective clothing when handling this substance, ensuring adequate ventilation in work areas .
4. Keep Lactobionic Acid away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases to prevent decomposition; wash thoroughly after handling .

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure adequate ventilation, and wear full personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and suitable dust respirator when Lactobionic acid is released .
2. Collect Lactobionic Acid by sweeping or vacuuming without creating dust using non-sparking tools, and place into suitable closed containers for disposal .
3. Avoid creating dust clouds during cleanup to prevent respiratory exposure; prevent the product from entering drains or water courses .
4. Dispose of collected material according to local, state, and federal environmental regulations through licensed chemical destruction or controlled incineration .

1. Lactobionic acid is not classified as highly flammable but may decompose under fire conditions, emitting toxic fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides .
2. Use water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish fires involving the product; do NOT use a direct water jet as Lactobionic Acid may scatter burning material .
3. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH approved, and full protective gear when handling burning Lactobionic acid due to hazardous decomposition gases generated by thermal decomposition .
4. During combustion, may emit irritant and toxic fumes; contain fire runoff to prevent environmental contamination .
