D-Sorbitol, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 1 kg, plastic

D-Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol supplied at min. 98 % purity for biochemistry applications. It has the empirical formula C₆H₁₄O₆, a molar mass of 182,18 g/mol and a density of 1,49 g/cm³, with a flash point above 100 °C. The compound is registered under CAS number 50-70-4 and EG nr. 200-061-5. As a monosaccharide-derived polyol, D-sorbitol is used in biochemical research, carbohydrate chemistry and related laboratory workflows that require a defined polyhydroxy compound. The min. 98 % grade supports preparative and analytical work where consistent purity is important. Typical uses include buffer or medium components, reference standards and synthetic intermediates within the scope of biochemical practice. Physical parameters such as molar mass and density aid stoichiometric calculations and documentation. The product belongs to the monosaccharide and biochemical reagent category and is offered without further performance claims beyond the stated purity and biochemistry suitability.
