Description
Chitosan is a natural-product biopolymer for biochemistry, supplied as a 5 cps grade with CAS number 9012-76-4 and empirical formula [C₆H₁₁NO₄]ₙ. It is characterised by a molar mass of approximately 20,000 g/mol and EG number 618-480-0. The 50 g plastic pack presents this chitosan as a laboratory chemical for biochemical use. Identity is anchored by the repeating formula [C₆H₁₁NO₄]ₙ together with CAS 9012-76-4, so the polymer can be cited consistently in experimental records. The 5 cps viscosity grade and molar mass of ~20,000 g/mol further specify the material beyond the generic name chitosan. This biochemistry-oriented chitosan from manufacturer Carl ROTH is therefore defined by formula, CAS number, EG number 618-480-0, 5 cps grade and the 50 g plastic unit. Natural-product biopolymers of this type are selected when a chitosan matching [C₆H₁₁NO₄]ₙ and CAS 9012-76-4 is required. Laboratories working with natural-product chemicals can specify this 5 cps chitosan for biochemistry in the 50 g plastic pack, with molar mass ~20,000 g/mol and EG number 618-480-0.

Questions about Chitosan, 5 cps, for biochemistry
What is this article?
Chitosan, 5 cps, for biochemistry is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Carbohydrates & sugars, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A carbohydrate reagent is a sugar or a derivative, specified by identity, anomer where it matters, and purity. Hydrate and anhydrous forms change the mass. A culture-grade sugar and an analytical standard of the same name are different bottles.
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.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Biochemicals & reagents. The sub-category is Carbohydrates & sugars. The catalogue is Microbiology lab supplies.
Shelves beside this one are Amino acids & peptides, Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, Biochemicals (other), Enzymes & substrates, Antibiotics & antimycotics, Lipids, steroids & fatty acids and Detergents & surfactants.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
