Description
L-Gulose is the L-configured aldohexose monosaccharide with empirical formula C₆H₁₂O₆ and molar mass 180,16 g/mol (CAS number 6027-89-0). As the enantiomer of D-gulose, this sugar is valuable for comparative experiments, chiral analysis and the preparation of L-series glycosides or reference standards. Scientists use L-gulose when examining enzymatic specificity, optical activity and synthetic pathways that depend on defined sugar configuration. Its clear molecular identity supports analytical method development, NMR work and chromatographic calibration among hexose isomers. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the material fits specialty biochemical catalogues serving academic institutes and industrial R&D groups. is practical for multi-step sequences, replicate assays and teaching laboratories that require authentic L-series monosaccharides. Applications centre on glycobiology, organic synthesis and quality-control contexts where a documented L-gulose standard of known molar mass is required.

Questions about L-Gulose, 2 g
What is this article?
L-Gulose, 2 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.
