Description
5-Fluorouracil is a fluorinated pyrimidine derivative supplied at min. 95 % purity in BioScience Grade for biochemical and life-science laboratory work. Identified by CAS number 51-21-8, it has the empirical formula C₄H₃FN₂O₂ and a molar mass of 130,08 g/mol. This compact 100 mg pack supports method development, reference preparations, and controlled experimental series where a defined fluorouracil standard is required. The material is listed under UN number 2811 and is offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH as part of its BioScience Grade biochemical range. Clear identity data—CAS, formula, and molar mass—facilitate documentation in research notebooks, SOPs, and inventory systems. Suitable for laboratories handling nucleobase analogues and related small-molecule reagents, the product provides a practical quantity for screening, calibration, or comparative studies without excess bulk. Use according to institutional chemical-safety procedures and applicable regulations for hazardous solids.

Questions about 5-Fluorouracil, min. 95 %, BioScience Grade, 100 mg
What is this article?
5-Fluorouracil, min. 95 %, BioScience Grade, 100 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Coenzymes, nucleotides and vitamins are the small molecules enzymes and cells consume: NAD, ATP, a vitamin cofactor. Purity, salt form and hydration are the specification, and many are unstable in solution or in the light. The lot is stored as the label says, often cold.
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.
