Description
Pyruvic acid is an organic keto acid supplied at min. 98 % purity for laboratory use. It carries CAS number 127-17-3, EG number 204-824-3 and the empirical formula C₃H₄O₃, with a molar mass of 88,06 g/mol. Density is 1,27 g/cm³, the boiling point is 165 °C and the flash point ranges from 82 to 83 °C. Packaged as 25 ml in glass, this material from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports biochemical, synthetic and analytical workflows that require a well-characterised C₃ building block. Pyruvic acid is widely employed in metabolic studies, organic transformations and reference preparations where defined purity and physical data aid reproducibility. Clear specification of molar mass, density and thermal properties helps laboratories plan dosing, solvent choice and process conditions. The compact glass pack suits method setup, small-scale synthesis and quality-control tasks that need reliable keto-acid feedstock without excess volume.

Questions about Pyruvic acid, min. 98 %, 25 ml, glass
What is this article?
Pyruvic acid, min. 98 %, 25 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
