Description
Sorbitan monostearate is a laboratory chemical characterised by CAS number 1338-41-6 and the empirical formula C₂₄H₄₆O₆. It has a molar mass of 430,62 g/mol. The defined molecular formula and molar mass support identity verification, batch documentation and alignment with analytical or process protocols. This material is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH within a biochemicals and specialty chemicals selection intended for professional research and development settings. Sorbitan monostearate in kilogram packaging offers a practical option when larger working quantities of this ester are required without fragmenting orders across multiple small units. Catalogue data focus on core chemical identifiers so laboratories can integrate the product into existing material specifications with minimal ambiguity.

Questions about Sorbitan monostearate, 1 kg
What is this article?
Sorbitan monostearate, 1 kg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Spectroscopy & physical property standards, inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
These standards check a physical or optical measurement: a refractive-index liquid, a wavelength standard, a viscosity oil, a melting-point substance. The stated value and its uncertainty are the product. They are not general reagents.
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.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Analytical standards & reference materials. The sub-category is Spectroscopy & physical property standards. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are ICP, AAS & ion standards, Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), Reference substances & reagents (other), Volumetric standard solutions (titration), Reagents for analysis (Ph. Eur., ASTM, DIN) and Indicators & indicator solutions.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
