Description
Uracil is a pyrimidine nucleobase supplied at min. 98 % purity for biochemistry applications. It carries CAS number 66-22-8, EG nr. 200-621-9 and the empirical formula C₄H₄N₂O₂, with a molar mass of 112,09 g/mol. This fundamental building block of RNA is widely used in nucleic-acid research, metabolic studies and biochemical assay development where a defined pyrimidine standard is required. The material is Offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH for biochemistry workflows, uracil integrates readily into synthesis routes, enzyme assays and reference preparations. Its well-characterised identity and stated minimum purity help laboratories maintain reproducible experimental conditions across molecular biology and analytical biochemistry. The compact glass pack size suits method development, teaching laboratories and routine bench work that need controlled quantities of this nucleobase without excess inventory.

Questions about Uracil, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 5 g, glass
What is this article?
Uracil, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 5 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Coenzymes, nucleotides and vitamins are the small molecules enzymes and cells consume: NAD, ATP, a vitamin cofactor. Purity, salt form and hydration are the specification, and many are unstable in solution or in the light. The lot is stored as the label says, often cold.
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.
