Description
Ergocalciferol is a vitamin D₂ biochemical reagent provided at min. 97,5 % purity for biochemistry. Registered under CAS number 50-14-6 and EG nr. 200-014-9, it has the empirical formula C₂₈H₄₄O and a molar mass of 396,65 g/mol. Ergocalciferol is commonly applied in vitamin D research, sterol chemistry, and metabolic studies that require a defined secosteroid standard. sourced from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this grade supports controlled experimental work in analytical and biochemical settings. Its documented purity and molecular characteristics aid reproducibility in qualitative evaluations and quantitative preparations. Suitable for laboratories investigating vitamin D pathways, nutritional biochemistry, and related analytical methods that depend on a reliable ergocalciferol reagent of known composition.

Questions about Ergocalciferol, min. 97,5 %, for biochemistry, 500 mg, glass
What is this article?
Ergocalciferol, min. 97,5 %, for biochemistry, 500 mg, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Coenzymes, nucleotides and vitamins are the small molecules enzymes and cells consume: NAD, ATP, a vitamin cofactor. Purity, salt form and hydration are the specification, and many are unstable in solution or in the light. The lot is stored as the label says, often cold.
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.
