Description
Arachidic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid offered at a minimum purity of 99 % in synthetic quality, with the empirical formula C₂₀H₄₀O₂ and CAS number 506-30-9. The compound has a molar mass of 312,52 g/mol, a density of 0,535 g/cm³, a flash point of 134 °C and a boiling point of 325 °C, supporting controlled handling in organic and biochemical laboratory settings. Supplied as a 1 g portion in glass, it is suitable for synthesis work, reference applications and studies involving C₂₀ fatty acids. The EG number 208-031-3 further identifies the substance for regulatory and documentation purposes. This high-purity arachidic acid from manufacturer Carl ROTH provides a well-characterised building block for esterification, lipid chemistry and analytical method development. Physical data such as density and thermal properties assist in solvent selection, heating protocols and safe laboratory practice. The compact 1 g glass pack is practical for research-scale experiments where defined amounts of a long-chain saturated acid are required without excess inventory. Researchers in organic synthesis, lipidomics and materials-related fatty-acid chemistry can rely on the stated minimum assay and synthetic origin for reproducible results.

Questions about Arachidic acid, min. 99 %, synth., 1 g, glass
What is this article?
Arachidic acid, min. 99 %, synth., 1 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
