Description
4-Methylumbelliferyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside is a biochemistry-grade fluorogenic substrate supplied at a minimum purity of 99 %, with CAS number 17833-43-1 and empirical formula C₁₆H₁₈O₈. Its molar mass is 338,32 g/mol (EG nr. 241-794-0), supporting quantitative enzyme assays and related life-science workflows. This reagent is The defined purity and molecular identity help ensure consistent assay performance in microbiology and nutrient-media additive contexts. Laboratories working with glycosidase substrates will find this material suitable for method development, routine screening, and analytical protocols that require a well-characterised methylumbelliferyl glycoside. Handle according to standard laboratory practice for fluorescent biochemical reagents.

Questions about 4-Methylumbelliferyl-alpha-D-glucopyran., min. 99 %, for biochemistry, 100 mg
What is this article?
4-Methylumbelliferyl-alpha-D-glucopyran., min. 99 %, for biochemistry, 100 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Microbiology (other), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
This shelf is the microbiology article that is not a medium, a dish or a loop: odd reagents, indicators and small devices used around a culture. The organism and the method still choose the article.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
Which category should I open next?

Shelves beside this one are Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), Petri dishes, Ready-to-use culture media (plates, tubes, bottles), Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles and Microbial identification, hygiene monitoring & rapid tests.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
