Description
Cantharidin is a reagent for biochemistry with CAS number 56-25-7 and the empirical formula C₁₀H₁₂O₄. Its molar mass is 196,20 g/mol and its density is 1,41 g/cm³, supporting accurate weighing and solution preparation in laboratory workflows. The product is supplied in a 25 mg glass pack sized for biochemical work where controlled quantities of a defined substance are required. Physical and identity data from manufacturer Carl ROTH include EG number 200-263-3 and UN number 2811, alongside the stated molar mass and density. This biochemistry-grade cantharidin is suited to experimental setups that rely on a clearly specified chemical identity, formula, and packing format. The glass presentation helps maintain integrity of the 25 mg unit during storage and handling in the laboratory. Researchers can use the documented molar mass of 196,20 g/mol and density of 1,41 g/cm³ when calculating concentrations or preparing reference materials. Overall, the combination of CAS 56-25-7, formula C₁₀H₁₂O₄, biochemistry designation, and compact glass pack makes this cantharidin a practical choice for biochemical laboratory applications needing a well-characterised small-quantity reagent.

Questions about Cantharidin, for biochemistry, 25 mg, glass
What is this article?
Cantharidin, for biochemistry, 25 mg, 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.
