DL-Glyceraldehyde（Cat No.:R027176）is a simple three-carbon sugar (triose) with the molecular formula C3H6O3, containing both an aldehyde group and two hydroxyl groups. It exists as a racemic mixture of D- and L-enantiomers, which are mirror images of each other. As a key intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism and chemical synthesis, DL-glyceraldehyde plays an important role in biochemical studies, especially those related to glycolysis and stereochemistry. It is also used as a starting material for synthesizing more complex sugars and chiral compounds, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and biochemical research applications.
