Description
Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride is a defined hexameric chitooligosaccharide used in biochemical and glycobiology research. It carries CAS number 41708-95-6, the empirical formula C₃₆H₆₈N₆O₂₅·6HCl, and a molar mass of 1203,73 g/mol. This six-unit amino-sugar oligomer is valuable for examining chain-length effects in enzyme kinetics, ligand binding, and cellular responses to chitin-derived carbohydrates. The compound is As a hexahydrochloride salt, it is convenient for laboratory handling and preparation of aqueous working solutions under controlled conditions. Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride from manufacturer Carl ROTH is part of a biochemicals offering for research environments that require discrete, characterisable oligomers rather than undefined hydrolysates. It supports structured studies across oligomer series and can be applied in academic, biotech, and industrial laboratories focused on carbohydrate-active enzymes and related molecular interactions.

Questions about Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride, 2 mg
What is this article?
Chitohexaose hexahydrochloride, 2 mg 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.
