Description
6-Carboxyindole is an indole carboxylic acid building block supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for chemical and biochemical laboratory work. Identified by CAS number 1670-82-2, it has the empirical formula C₉H₇NO₂ and a molar mass of 161,16 g/mol. The boiling point is reported as 287,4 °C, supporting handling and process planning in synthesis and method development. 6-Carboxyindole belongs to the carboxy-substituted indole family frequently employed when an indole core bearing a carboxylic acid handle is required for further functionalisation, coupling chemistry, or structure–activity exploration. The compound is offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH within the biochemicals and fine-chemicals range intended for controlled laboratory environments. Clear identity data—CAS, formula, molar mass, and boiling point—help laboratories document incoming goods, prepare risk assessments, and align analytical checks with catalogue specifications. Suitable for organic synthesis, medicinal-chemistry intermediates, and general biochemical research where a defined 6-carboxyindole reagent is specified.

Questions about 6-Carboxyindole, min. 95 %, 100 g
What is this article?
6-Carboxyindole, min. 95 %, 100 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
