Nigerose, 25 mg

Nigerose is a disaccharide characterised by CAS number 497-48-3, empirical formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ and a molar mass of 342,3 g/mol. Also known as a glucose–glucose oligomer with an α-1,3 linkage, it serves as a specialised carbohydrate standard in biochemical, enzymatic, and analytical research. provides a practical quantity for reference applications, substrate screening, chromatographic method development, and studies of glycoside hydrolases that recognise nigerose or related linkages. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH within its biochemicals range, the product supports laboratories investigating unusual disaccharide structures, microbial carbohydrate metabolism, or comparative oligosaccharide chemistry. Clear molecular identity and mass data facilitate integration into quantitative assays, mass-spectrometric libraries, and spectroscopic confirmation workflows. Researchers benefit from a compact unit that limits excess inventory while still supplying enough material for multiple experimental series. Consistent labelling of CAS, formula, and molar mass aids traceable documentation in both academic and industrial laboratory environments focused on specialised sugars.
