Description
Sphingosine is a long-chain amino alcohol supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for biochemical and chemical research. It is identified by CAS number 123-78-4, has the empirical formula C₁₈H₃₇NO₂, and a molar mass of 299,49 g/mol. Physical data from the manufacturer include a boiling point of 475,9 °C and a flash point of 223,5 °C, giving laboratories clear reference values for handling and documentation. The product is As a core sphingoid base structure, it supports work that depends on a well-defined C₁₈ backbone and documented assay level. Sphingosine from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned for chemicals and biochemicals catalogues and fits careful small-scale weighing practices. The compact pack helps control cost per experiment while preserving material integrity for sequential trials, method setup, and reference use in specialised laboratory workflows.

Questions about Sphingosine, min. 95 %, 25 mg
What is this article?
Sphingosine, min. 95 %, 25 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Lipids, steroids & fatty acids, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A lipid, a steroid or a fatty acid is specified by chain length, saturation and purity. Esters and free acids are different compounds. Many are supplied in a small amount under inert gas because they oxidise. The physical form, oil or powder, follows from the structure.
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.
