Description
5-Ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU) is a nucleoside analogue of minimum 98 % purity with CAS number 61135-33-9 and empirical formula C₁₁H₁₂N₂O₅. Its molar mass is 252,23 g/mol. The ethynyl-modified deoxyuridine structure supports click chemistry workflows used in DNA applications, where the alkyne handle enables selective azide–alkyne conjugation after metabolic incorporation. The reagent is Offered by manufacturer baseclick, EdU provides a well-defined chemical identity for protocols that rely on bioorthogonal detection of newly synthesised DNA. Minimum 98 % purity helps maintain consistency across labelling, imaging, and related nucleic-acid experiments. suits method development and repeated small-scale assays without excessive open-vial handling. Cold storage preserves material integrity as indicated in the product data. Laboratories working in click chemistry and DNA analysis can integrate this compound into established ethynyl-nucleoside procedures. Consult the safety data sheet for handling guidance before use.

Questions about 5-Ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU), min. 98 %, 50 mg, plastic
What is this article?
5-Ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU), min. 98 %, 50 mg, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes baseclick for laboratory use. It sits in Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Coenzymes, nucleotides and vitamins are the small molecules enzymes and cells consume: NAD, ATP, a vitamin cofactor. Purity, salt form and hydration are the specification, and many are unstable in solution or in the light. The lot is stored as the label says, often cold.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
