Greater than 98% by gas chromatography

Formulation

White crystalline solid

Solubility

This molecule is reported to be soluble in DMSO at 100 mM and water at 300 mM.

Reconstitution

For a 10 mM stock solution of Valproic Acid, add 3.01 mL DMSO to 5 mg of the compound. If precipitate is observed, warm the solution to 37 °C for 2 to 5 minutes. For cell culture, the media should be prewarmed prior to adding VPA.

Storage and Stability

Store powder at 4 °C protected from light. Following reconstitution, store aliquots at −20 °C. Stock solutions are stable for 6 months when stored as directed.

Quality Control

The purity of VPA was determined by gas chromatography. The accurate mass was determined by mass spectrometry. Cellular toxicity of VPA was tested on mouse embryonic stem cells.
