Description

Dipicolinic Acid (DPA), also known as 2,6-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid, is a white crystalline powder with the molecular formula C7H5NO4. It plays a critical role in biochemistry, particularly as a key constituent of bacterial spores such as Bacillus and Clostridium species, where it stabilizes DNA and enhances heat resistance.

Cavin Resource provides high-purity DPA in bulk for research labs, metal chelation processes, and chemical synthesis, ensuring COA, MSDS, and purity documentation with every shipment.

Production Method

Laboratory Synthesis via Oxidation or Hydrolysis:

• Most industrial production involves oxidation of 2,6-lutidine or hydrolysis of 2,6-dicyanopyridine.

• The compound is then crystallized and purified via recrystallization in aqueous or organic solvents.

Our DPA is manufactured under strict quality control conditions, ensuring consistent ≥99% assay levels and low moisture content for lab and industrial compatibility.
