Description
(-)-Quinic acid is a cyclic polyhydroxycarboxylic acid offered as ROTICHROM® CHR grade with a minimum purity of 98 %. Identified by CAS number 77-95-2 and EG number 201-072-8, it has the empirical formula C₇H₁₂O₆ and a molar mass of 192,17 g/mol. Reported physical properties include a density of 1,637 g/cm³, a flash point of 233,1 °C and a boiling point of 396,8 °C, supporting clear material characterisation in the laboratory. The material from manufacturer Carl ROTH fits workflows that require a defined quinic acid identity for method development, qualitative comparison and routine analytical checks. Its placement among phytochemical standards makes it suitable for natural-product research, chromatographic calibration tasks and broader analytical chemistry programmes where consistent composition and documented molecular data are essential for reproducible results.

Questions about (-)-Quinic acid, ROTICHROM® CHR, 25 g, plastic
What is this article?
(-)-Quinic acid, ROTICHROM® CHR, 25 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A chromatography standard is the substance, or the mix, injected so a peak can be named and quantified. Pesticide mixes, residual-solvent mixes and single-compound standards are different articles. The concentration and the solvent are the specification. The solvent has to be one the method may contain.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
