Adenosine Triphosphate
Applications
Used in life-science research as an energy donor in enzymatic assays and cell culture media. In cosmetics, ATP promotes cellular renewal and revitalization.
Safety & Risks
Stable in dry form; aqueous solutions degrade rapidly. Non-hazardous at standard concentrations but handled under cleanroom conditions.
Packaging
Supplied as freeze-dried powder in sealed vials or glass ampoules. Store at −20 °C, protected from moisture and light.
