Description
Adenine is a purine base supplied at min. 98 % purity for biochemistry, with CAS number 73-24-5 and empirical formula C₅H₅N₅. The molar mass is 135,13 g/mol and the density is 1,49 g/cm³. This grade is intended for biochemical work where a defined adenine source is required for nucleotide-related studies, media supplementation, or analytical reference use. EG number 200-796-1 identifies the substance under European chemical listing. Adenine serves as a building block in nucleic acid chemistry and related life-science protocols. The combination of stated purity, molecular data, and glass packaging supports controlled weighing and storage in research and teaching laboratories. Select this pack when small-scale biochemical preparations need a clearly specified adenine reagent without further grade claims beyond the manufacturer data.
This article is part of Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about Adenine, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 5 g, glass
What is this article?
Adenine, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 5 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
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.
