Description
Charcoal activated is elemental carbon supplied as steam-activated granules of approximately 3 mm, intended for laboratory adsorption, purification and filtration work. With CAS number 7440-44-0, empirical formula C, molar mass 12,01 g/mol and density 2,31 g/cm³, this material offers a well-defined carbon matrix for removing organic impurities, decolourising solutions and supporting general sample clean-up. The steam-activation process yields a porous structure suited to liquid- and gas-phase applications in analytical chemistry, process development and teaching laboratories. This charcoal activated quality from manufacturer Carl ROTH integrates easily into standard laboratory workflows where reliable carbon adsorption is required. Use according to your method protocols for solvent treatment, clarification or protective filtration steps. The combination of defined particle size, known physicochemical data and convenient pack format supports reproducible preparation of activated-carbon media across chemical and life-science environments.

Questions about Charcoal activated, 3 mm, steam activated, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Charcoal activated, 3 mm, steam activated, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Reagents for analysis (Ph. Eur., ASTM, DIN), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A reagent for analysis is a chemical whose impurities are limited so they do not become a signal in a titration, a digestion or a photometric method. Pharmacopoeia, ASTM and DIN names point at different limit lists. The grade, not only the identity, is the purchase.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
