Overview
Sodium Pyruvate (ASC-8016) is the sodium salt of pyruvate, a central intermediate in glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and fermentation pathways. Supplied as a high-purity laboratory-grade reagent, distinct from higher-cost certified cell-culture-tested grades, for applications where that additional testing is not required.
In microbiological media, sodium pyruvate can serve as a supplementary carbon source and assist in the recovery of stressed or injured microorganisms via its free-radical/peroxide-scavenging properties. Distributed by AuSaMicS Pty Ltd from our Epping facility. For laboratory and industrial research use only.
Applications
| Application Area | Use |
|---|---|
| Microbiological Media | Supplementary carbon source; aids recovery of stressed/injured microorganisms in resuscitation and enrichment media |
| Cell Culture (Laboratory Grade) | Energy source supplement for non-critical cell culture applications |
| Analytical & Reference Chemistry | Reference compound for metabolic and biochemical studies |
| Research & Education | General laboratory reagent for teaching and research |
Handle with care. Sodium pyruvate is classified as an eye irritant (Category 2) and skin sensitiser (Category 1B). Always review the full Safety Data Sheet before handling. See the SDS tab.

Chemical Role
Pyruvate sits at the central junction of glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and fermentation. Sodium pyruvate provides a readily bioavailable source of this intermediate, and has documented antioxidant properties, scavenging hydrogen peroxide and protecting cells from oxidative stress.
