Features & Benefits
- Product Background
Sodium Acetate is available in pharmaceutical and technical grades. Niacet’s acetates, mainly sodium acetate but also ammonium acetate, potassium acetate, and zinc acetate are used in the production of insulin. Additionally, as a constituent in insulin products, sodium acetate acts as an oxidative fuel preventing the body from producing anti bodies during insulin injection.
Sodium acetate trihydrate at Tiel, NL site is certified by the Health Care Inspectorate – Pharmaceutical Affairs Medical Technology of the Dutch Ministry with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification. This certification affirms Niacet’s commitment to supplying the highest quality active ingredients and excipients for the pharmaceutical industry.
