Description
5-Ethylindole-2-carboxylic acid is an indole-based carboxylic acid building block supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for laboratory and biochemical work. Identified by CAS number 37033-93-5, it has the empirical formula C₁₁H₁₁NO₂ and a molar mass of 189,21 g/mol, giving a clear molecular identity for synthesis planning, analytical reference, and structure–activity studies. As a substituted indole-2-carboxylic acid, the compound combines an ethyl-substituted aromatic heterocycle with a carboxyl handle that can support further derivatisation under standard organic and medicinal chemistry protocols. The material is offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH within the biochemicals range and is intended for professional laboratory environments that need well-defined heterocyclic intermediates. Physical handling and storage should follow the product documentation supplied with the goods. With its defined CAS registry entry, stated minimum assay, and compact pack format, 5-ethylindole-2-carboxylic acid is a practical choice for research groups working on indole scaffolds, fine-chemical synthesis, and related biochemical applications.

Questions about 5-Ethylindole-2-carboxylic acid, min. 95 %, 250 mg
What is this article?
5-Ethylindole-2-carboxylic acid, min. 95 %, 250 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
