D-Fucose, 5 g

D-Fucose is a deoxyhexose sugar supplied for biochemical and carbohydrate research applications. It carries CAS number 3615-37-0 and the empirical formula C₆H₁₂O₅, with a molar mass of 164,16 g/mol. offers a convenient laboratory quantity for solution preparation, enzymatic assays, glycosylation studies and reference standards where the D-enantiomer of fucose is required. As a 6-deoxy sugar, D-fucose is a recognised component in glycobiology, microbial polysaccharide work and synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH is presented with clear identity data so that molar concentrations and mass-balance calculations can be established directly from the stated molecular formula and mass. The multi-gram unit supports repeated experimental runs, media supplementation and analytical calibration without frequent reordering of small aliquots. Laboratories can integrate D-Fucose into chromatographic comparison, metabolic labelling schemes or structural studies that depend on a defined monosaccharide building block. With its established CAS registration and formula, this biochemical provides a straightforward option for routine and specialised carbohydrate workflows under controlled research conditions.
