Description
β-Sitosterol is a plant sterol biochemical offered at a minimum purity of 80 %, with CAS number 68555-08-8 and empirical formula C₂₉H₅₀O. The molar mass is 414,71 g/mol and the density is 0,97 g/cm³; reported thermal data include a flash point of 220,4 °C and a boiling point of 501,9 °C. This listing provides for laboratory use in natural-product chemistry, lipid research, and comparative sterol studies. The material is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH as part of its biochemicals range and is suited to formulation trials, analytical reference tasks, and exploratory biological assays that specify a min. 80 % grade. Clear CAS, formula, and physical constants support accurate weighing, documentation, and transfer of methods between laboratories. is convenient for groups that need a defined sterol without committing to bulk inventory. Identity and property data facilitate goods-in checks, SDS-linked handling, and consistent reporting across research programmes.

Questions about b-Sitosterol, min. 80 %, 25 g
What is this article?
b-Sitosterol, min. 80 %, 25 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Lipids, steroids & fatty acids, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A lipid, a steroid or a fatty acid is specified by chain length, saturation and purity. Esters and free acids are different compounds. Many are supplied in a small amount under inert gas because they oxidise. The physical form, oil or powder, follows from the structure.
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.
