Description
L-Arabinose is a naturally occurring pentose sugar used widely as a biochemical reagent in laboratory research and process development. It carries CAS number 87-72-9 and the empirical formula C₅H₁₀O₅, with a molar mass of 150,13 g/mol. L-Arabinose from manufacturer Carl ROTH provides a clearly specified chemical identity for documentation, inventory control, and reproducible experimental design. The defined molar mass and formula support stoichiometric calculations, solution preparation, and quality records in biochemical and chemical laboratories. The kilogram unit quantity is convenient for high-throughput or continuous use while remaining manageable for standard storage and weighing procedures. Researchers in microbiology, glycobiology, and synthetic carbohydrate chemistry can incorporate this L-configured arabinose into protocols that call for a well-characterised pentose. Catalogue data align with the stated CAS number, molecular formula, and pack size for straightforward specification and ordering.
This article is part of Carbohydrates & sugars, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about L-Arabinose, 1 kg
What is this article?
L-Arabinose, 1 kg 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.
