Description
alpha-Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide supplied at min. 98 % purity for biochemistry, with CAS number 10016-20-3 and empirical formula C₃₆H₆₀O₃₀. Its molar mass is 972,86 g/mol and the density is 1,483 g/cm³, supporting precise stoichiometric work in analytical and preparative laboratory settings. This cyclic glucose oligomer is widely used in biochemical research where defined host–guest interactions, solubility modulation, or complexation studies are required. The material is Produced by manufacturer Carl ROTH, the grade is intended for biochemistry applications that demand a clearly specified carbohydrate reagent. Researchers can rely on the stated molar mass and density values when preparing stock solutions, calculating loadings, or documenting experimental protocols. Suitable for carbohydrate chemistry, encapsulation studies, and related biochemical workflows, alpha-cyclodextrin provides a well-characterised cyclic sugar building block for laboratory use.

Questions about alpha-Cyclodextrin, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 5 g, glass
What is this article?
alpha-Cyclodextrin, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 5 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Carbohydrates & sugars, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A carbohydrate reagent is a sugar or a derivative, specified by identity, anomer where it matters, and purity. Hydrate and anhydrous forms change the mass. A culture-grade sugar and an analytical standard of the same name are different bottles.
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.
