C6H10CaO6 · 5H2O
308.30 g/mol
Mineral salt (calcium)
Identity: Calcium lactate pentahydrate
IUPAC name: calcium;bis(2-hydroxypropanoate);pentahydrate
Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: ICP-MS metal content, HPLC assay of the lactate counter-ion, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.
The USP monograph covers identity by a calcium test and infrared spectroscopy, assay by titration, magnesium and alkali salts, volatile fatty acids, acidity by titration, and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Calcium Lactate monograph is available and quoted.
Chromatographic purity and mg per unit by the method matched to the compound, identity against a reference standard. 1 unit.

Purity and quantity is $250 per sample (1 unit) and raw powder purity is $200 for 50 mg, with results in 3 to 5 business days. Send the material sealed and labeled, with the label claim and the form it contains.
No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by ICP-MS for calcium and HPLC for the lactate. Full testing to the USP Calcium Lactate monograph is available and quoted.
Calcium lactate is sold as the pentahydrate, other hydrates and the anhydrous salt, each with a different calcium content per gram. Loss on drying shows the water level so the result matches the labeled form.
Not by standard HPLC, since the two lactate forms have the same mass and retention time. A chiral method is needed for that.
