Description
Glycine is an amino acid reagent supplied as PUFFERAN® grade with a minimum purity of 99 % for analytical (p.a.) use. It is identified by CAS number 56-40-6 and the empirical formula C₂H₅NO₂, with a molar mass of 75,07 g/mol and a density of 1,161 g/cm³. The boiling point is given as 375,7 °C. In biochemistry and life-science laboratories, glycine is employed in biological buffer systems, electrophoresis-related preparations, and other protocols that require a high-purity amino acid. The material is The p.a. specification supports analytical and research environments where consistent reagent quality matters. Glycine from manufacturer Carl ROTH under the PUFFERAN® line is positioned for buffer and biochemistry applications. Further identification is provided by EG number 200-272-2. Well-defined assay and physical data help laboratories maintain reproducible conditions in protein chemistry, molecular biology support work, and general biochemical buffering.
