Description
Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid supplied as a pure grade with a minimum content of 65 %, CAS number 112-80-1 and empirical formula C₁₈H₃₄O₂. It has a molar mass of 282,47 g/mol, a density of 0,89 g/cm³, a flash point of 189 °C and a boiling range of 360 to 390 °C, supporting predictable handling in chemical and laboratory settings. The product is Oleic acid is widely applied where a long-chain unsaturated carboxylic acid is required as a reagent, intermediate or reference material. Physical constants such as density and thermal behaviour assist with transfer, heating and compatibility decisions at the bench. This quality is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for laboratories that specify pure oleic acid at min. 65 %. EG number 204-007-1 further identifies the substance for documentation and regulatory workflows. The defined purity level and practical glass pack make it suitable for routine chemical work and method development.

Questions about Oleic acid, min. 65 %, pure, 250 ml, glass
What is this article?
Oleic acid, min. 65 %, pure, 250 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Lipids, steroids & fatty acids, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A lipid, a steroid or a fatty acid is specified by chain length, saturation and purity. Esters and free acids are different compounds. Many are supplied in a small amount under inert gas because they oxidise. The physical form, oil or powder, follows from the structure.
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.
