Description
Dextran 150 is a biochemistry-grade polysaccharide characterised by a molar mass of approximately 150000 g/mol and Identified by CAS number 9004-54-0 and EG number 232-677-5, it shares the repeating empirical formula (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ typical of dextran polymers. The higher average chain length relative to lower-numbered dextran grades supports laboratory applications that call for this specific molecular-weight window. Researchers use such materials in biochemical preparation, separation science and related experimental setups where polymer size influences viscosity, exclusion behaviour or matrix properties. Offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the material arrives ready for routine weighing and dissolution according to protocol. Clear labelling of molar mass, CAS identity and biochemistry suitability helps laboratories maintain traceable reagent inventories across the dextran series. Handle and store following standard laboratory procedures for polysaccharide chemicals.

Questions about Dextran 150, for biochemistry, 10 g, plastic
What is this article?
Dextran 150, 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.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Biochemicals & reagents. The sub-category is Carbohydrates & sugars. The catalogue is Life Science & Microbiology.
