Zinc Gluconate, also known as Zinc D-gluconate, is the zinc salt of gluconic acid, a mild organic acid. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder, odorless, and with a slightly astringent taste.
Lab grade chemicals possess reasonable purity but do not comply with any official standard for quality or purity like the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, or the FCC Grade. The Lab Grade is also known as Laboratory Reagent (LR) and Chemically Pure (CP). Lab Alley’s Zinc Gluconate, Lab Grade is recommended for educational institutes, research labs, and commercial applications.
