Description
Salicylic acid is an aromatic hydroxy acid supplied at a minimum purity of 99 % for biochemistry applications. It carries CAS number 69-72-7 and EG number 200-712-3, with the empirical formula C₇H₆O₃, a molar mass of 138,12 g/mol and a density of 1,44 g/cm³. The substance shows a flash point of 157 °C and a boiling point of 256 °C. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports research and quality-control work that requires a well-characterised organic acid intermediate. Typical contexts include enzyme-related studies, metabolite handling and general organic laboratory practice where defined purity and documented physical data are important. The solid is straightforward to weigh and dissolve under standard bench conditions, making the kilogram pack suitable both for frequent small-scale use and for larger preparative batches.
This article is part of Acids, in Acids & bases.

Questions about Salicylic acid, min. 99 %, for biochemistry, 1 kg, plastic
What is this article?
Salicylic acid, min. 99 %, for biochemistry, 1 kg, plastic 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.
