Diglycolic acid was used in the preparation of needle-like aragonite particles from calcium nitrate aqueous solutions. It is also used in the synthesis of N-interlinked imipramines which show apoptotic activity against malignant cells as well as signs of combating Burkitt’s lymphoma.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
