Description
DL-Aspartic acid is a racemic amino acid offered at a minimum purity of 98 % for biochemistry, identified by CAS number 617-45-8 and the empirical formula C₄H₇NO₄. With a molar mass of 133,1 g/mol and a density of 1 g/cm³, this solid reagent provides a clearly specified starting material for amino-acid chemistry, peptide-related work, and general biochemical experimentation. The product is Manufactured by Carl ROTH, DL-aspartic acid supports research workflows that require the DL form rather than an enantiopure isomer. Typical laboratory uses include formulation of buffers, studies of nitrogen metabolism, and organic transformations involving the aspartate backbone. The defined purity grade helps laboratories maintain consistency across repeated preparations and method development. Users can dissolve and handle the material according to standard practices for amino acids when setting up reactions or analytical standards. This biochemistry-grade offering fits academic, biotech, and industrial research environments that rely on well-characterised amino acid reagents.

Questions about DL-Aspartic acid, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 100 g, plastic
What is this article?
DL-Aspartic acid, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 100 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Click chemistry, bioconjugation & synthesis reagents, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Click and bioconjugation reagents join two molecules under mild conditions, often an azide to an alkyne, or an NHS ester to an amine. The linker length and the reactive group are the specification. They are small bottles of a reactive compound, and moisture often ruins them.
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.
