Description
Anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon supplied at ≥99,7 % purity for scintillation applications. It is identified by CAS number 120-12-7 and empirical formula C₁₄H₁₀, with a molar mass of 178,23 g/mol and a density of 1,126 g/cm³. Further physical data include a flash point of 121 °C and a boiling point of 342 °C. The substance is listed under EG nr. 204-371-1 Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this scintillation-grade anthracene supports laboratories that require a well-characterised aromatic fluor with high minimum assay. Molar mass, density and thermal values assist formulation, safety assessment and documentation in research and quality-controlled settings. balances bench convenience with sufficient material for repeated series. Users working in liquid scintillation or associated fluorescence-based counting workflows can rely on the stated purity and CAS identity when preparing working solutions according to established methods, while the defined physical constants aid consistent handling and record-keeping.

Questions about Anthracene, ≥99,7 %, for scintillation, 50 g, plastic
What is this article?
Anthracene, ≥99,7 %, for scintillation, 50 g, plastic 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.
