Description
Menadione is a vitamin K₃ analogue supplied at min. 98 % purity for biochemistry applications. Identified by CAS 58-27-5 and EG nr. 200-372-6, it has the empirical formula C₁₁H₈O₂ and a molar mass of 172,18 g/mol. This naphthoquinone derivative is widely used in biochemical research on vitamin K pathways, redox processes, and related metabolic studies. sourced from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the product supports reproducible preparation of stock solutions and reference materials in life-science and analytical settings. Its defined purity grade and clear chemical identity make it suitable for method development, assay calibration, and fundamental investigations involving menadione-dependent systems. Handle and store according to laboratory good practice and the accompanying safety documentation.

Questions about Menadione, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 10 g, glass
What is this article?
Menadione, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 10 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
Coenzymes, nucleotides and vitamins are the small molecules enzymes and cells consume: NAD, ATP, a vitamin cofactor. Purity, salt form and hydration are the specification, and many are unstable in solution or in the light. The lot is stored as the label says, often cold.
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.
