Description
Sodium valproate is the sodium salt of valproic acid, characterised by CAS number 1069-66-5 and empirical formula C₈H₁₅NaO₂. It has a molar mass of 166,19 g/mol. This branched-chain carboxylate salt is used in biochemical, medicinal chemistry and analytical research where a well-defined sodium alkanoate is required. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH, sodium valproate supports reference preparation, formulation trials and studies involving related carboxylate chemistry. Researchers rely on the stated formula and molar mass for precise concentration calculations and reproducible documentation. As a solid sodium salt it integrates readily into organic and life-science workflows. Placement within biochemicals and new product highlights underlines its utility for contemporary laboratory campaigns that need reliable identity data and practical pack sizes for ongoing research.

Questions about Sodium valproate, 250 g
What is this article?
Sodium valproate, 250 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Inorganic salts, inside Inorganic chemicals, in Lab chemicals.
An inorganic salt is an ionic solid, a chloride, a sulfate, a nitrate, a phosphate. The degree of hydration changes the mass that contains one mole of the ion. Analytical grade limits the foreign ions. A hydrate and the anhydrous salt are not interchangeable by weight.
An inorganic chemical is a salt, an acid or base in solid form, a metal, an oxide, or an element. The waters of hydration are part of the formula: a hydrate and an anhydrous salt are different masses for the same ion. Trace metals matter when the salt will be used in analysis. Nanomaterials add particle size to the specification. Look the substance up on PubChem. Hazard classes are on ECHA, under the CLP Regulation and REACH. Transport of the dangerous ones is explained by the UNECE.
