Description
Betamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid with CAS number 378-44-9 and empirical formula C₂₂H₂₉FO₅. Its molar mass is 392,46 g/mol, providing a clearly defined molecular identity for laboratory and biochemical work. Laboratories use betamethasone as a reference compound in assay development, structure–activity investigations, and controlled endocrinology experiments where reproducible dosing and characterisation matter. The product is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH within the biochemicals range and suits method set-up, calibration series, and multi-run experimental programmes. Its established chemical profile helps standardise protocols across screening, analytical comparison, and downstream signalling studies. quantity is practical for shared laboratory stocks and extended project work without frequent reordering. This reagent is intended for professional scientific use in research environments that require consistent steroid standards.

Questions about Betamethasone, 5 g
What is this article?
Betamethasone, 5 g 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 Microbiology lab supplies.
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.
