Description
D(+)-Raffinose pentahydrate is a trisaccharide hydrate supplied at min. 98 % purity for biochemistry applications. Identified by CAS number 17629-30-0 and EG nr. 208-146-9, it has the empirical formula C₁₈H₃₂O₁₆ · 5 H₂O, a molar mass of 594,5 g/mol and a density of 1,47 g/cm³. This crystalline carbohydrate is widely used in biochemical research, including studies of carbohydrate metabolism, osmoprotection and as a reference or substrate material in analytical workflows. The material is Produced by manufacturer Carl ROTH, the grade is intended for biochemistry use where defined composition and reliable identity are required. Its pentahydrate form supports handling and weighing in aqueous and buffered systems common to life-science laboratories. Researchers value raffinose hydrates for controlled experiments involving oligosaccharides and related metabolic pathways. This pack size supports method development, calibration and small-series experimental setups without excess inventory.

Questions about D(+)-Raffinose pentahydrate, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 10 g, plastic
What is this article?
D(+)-Raffinose pentahydrate, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 10 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Carbohydrates & sugars, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
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.
