Description
Cholesterol stearate is a pure sterol ester offered at a minimum purity of 97 %, with CAS number 35602-69-8 and empirical formula C₄₅H₈₀O₂. Its molar mass of 653,14 g/mol supports precise stoichiometric work in organic synthesis, lipid chemistry and analytical method development. This grade is suited to laboratory applications where a defined cholesterol fatty-acid ester is required as a reference material, intermediate or model compound in studies of sterol metabolism and membrane-related systems. The material is packed as 5 g in glass, providing a convenient quantity for research and quality-control workflows while limiting unnecessary surplus. Physical handling benefits from the compact glass presentation, which is practical for weighing and storage in standard laboratory environments. Cholesterol stearate from manufacturer Carl ROTH fits catalogues of fine chemicals used across academic, industrial and life-science laboratories. Specify the CAS number and molar mass when documenting methods or preparing stock solutions to ensure traceability and reproducibility in experimental protocols.

Questions about Cholesterol stearate, min. 97 %, pure, 5 g, glass
What is this article?
Cholesterol stearate, min. 97 %, pure, 5 g, glass 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 Life Science & Microbiology.
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.
