Description
5-Fluorouracil is a fluorinated pyrimidine analogue supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for biochemical and research applications. Identified by CAS number 51-21-8 and the empirical formula C₄H₃FN₂O₂, it has a molar mass of 130,08 g/mol and is classified under UN number 2811. The compound’s compact heterocyclic structure makes it a familiar intermediate in nucleobase chemistry and related laboratory workflows. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH arrives ready for integration into established protocols in medicinal chemistry, analytical method development, and biochemical screening. With clearly stated identity data and a convenient bulk quantity, the product suits laboratories that need reliable access to 5-fluorouracil without unnecessary reformulation steps. Handle according to standard laboratory practice for organic solids of this hazard class.

Questions about 5-Fluorouracil, min. 95 %, 250 g
What is this article?
5-Fluorouracil, min. 95 %, 250 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
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.
