Description
Ectoine is a cyclic amino-acid derivative supplied for laboratory and biochemical research applications. Registered under CAS number 96702-03-3, it corresponds to the empirical formula C₆H₁₀N₂O₂ and has a molar mass of 142,16 g/mol. The product is offered in a 50 g pack size that suits formulation trials, stability studies, and experimental work requiring a defined compatible-solute-type molecule. Laboratories use ectoine when they need a characterised small heterocycle for buffer systems, stress-response models, or comparative biochemical assays under controlled conditions. Identity parameters—CAS designation, molecular formula, and molar mass—support accurate ordering, documentation, and batch tracking. This material is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH as part of a broader chemicals and biochemicals range intended for research environments. The 50 g unit provides a practical quantity for multi-experiment programmes without introducing claims beyond the stated manufacturer specifications. Ectoine therefore fits research workflows that call for a well-identified C₆H₁₀N₂O₂ compound in a convenient laboratory pack.

Questions about Ectoine, 50 g
What is this article?
Ectoine, 50 g 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.
