Description
Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate (CPC) is a cationic quaternary ammonium compound supplied at min. 98 % purity for biochemistry. It is identified by CAS number 6004-24-6, EG number 204-593-9 and the empirical formula C₂₁H₃₈ClN·H₂O, with a molar mass of 358,01 g/mol. CPC functions as a cationic surfactant and antimicrobial agent in biochemical and formulation studies, including precipitation of polyanions, surface-activity measurements and controlled biocidal testing. size is practical for buffer preparation, stock solutions and repeated laboratory use. Material of this specification is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for biochemistry workflows that require a defined cetylpyridinium salt monohydrate. Clear CAS, EG and formula data support accurate ordering and documentation in research or quality-control settings. Laboratories engaged in surfactant science, nucleic-acid handling or antimicrobial screening can integrate this grade directly into established protocols. The stated purity and monohydrate form help maintain consistency across batches when preparing working solutions or reference standards.
This article belongs on Detergents & surfactants, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate, (CPC), min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 100 g
What is this article?
Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate, (CPC), min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 100 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Detergents & surfactants, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A laboratory detergent or surfactant, such as SDS, Tween or Triton, solubilises membranes and stops proteins sticking. The average chain length and the peroxide content matter, especially for a protein that a peroxide would damage. A cleaning detergent for glassware is a different product.
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.
