Description
Adonitol is a pentitol sugar alcohol supplied at min. 98 % purity for biochemistry. It is registered under CAS number 488-81-3 and EG nr. 207-685-7, with the empirical formula C₅H₁₂O₅ and a molar mass of 152,15 g/mol. This polyol is employed in biochemical research as a carbohydrate-related reference material, osmolyte component, or intermediate in studies of sugar metabolism and polyol chemistry. The defined purity supports reproducible preparation of standards, culture media additives, and analytical calibration solutions where adonitol (ribitol) identity matters. Laboratories working in carbohydrate chemistry, microbial physiology, or analytical biochemistry can incorporate this reagent where a high-purity C₅ sugar alcohol is specified. Clear CAS, EG, and molar-mass data facilitate documentation, inventory control, and alignment with experimental protocols that call for adonitol of biochemistry grade.

Questions about Adonitol, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 1 g, glass
What is this article?
Adonitol, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 1 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
