Description
Polyinosinic acid-polycytidylic acid, homopolymer is a double-stranded RNA analogue used in biochemical and cell-biology research. It is registered under CAS number 24939-03-5 and described by the repeating empirical formula (C₁₀H₁₃N₄O₈P)ₓ(C₉H₁₄N₃O₈P)ₓ, reflecting the poly(I)·poly(C) homopolymer structure. This listing provides size for laboratories that require larger working amounts for stimulation assays, nucleic-acid binding studies, or method development. The reagent is relevant where synthetic dsRNA mimics are applied to probe innate immune signalling, interferon pathways, or related molecular responses under controlled in vitro conditions. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned in the biochemicals category and suits research groups that need a clearly identified polyinosinic–polycytidylic acid homopolymer without additional formulation claims. CAS and formula data support accurate ordering, inventory coding, and protocol alignment. is practical for multi-experiment campaigns, shared core facilities, and scale-up of established poly(I:C)-based workflows in academic and industrial life-science settings.

Questions about Polyinosinic acid-polycytidylic acid, ho, mopolymer, 2 g
What is this article?
Polyinosinic acid-polycytidylic acid, ho, mopolymer, 2 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Polymers, PEGs & silicones, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A polymer, a PEG or a silicone is sold by molecular weight, or by viscosity, as much as by name. PEG 400 and PEG 4000 are different liquids and solids. A silicone oil's viscosity grades are the product range. The average molecular weight is the specification.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
Which category should I open next?
