Description
Hydroxyethyl starch is a modified polysaccharide reagent identified by CAS number 9005-27-0 and the empirical formula (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₘ(C₂H₅O)ₙ. As a hydroxyethylated starch derivative, it is widely used in biochemical research, formulation studies, and laboratory work where controlled polymeric carbohydrate materials are required. Physical handling benefits from the defined unit quantity, supporting accurate weighing and aliquot preparation in analytical and life-science workflows. The material is offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH within the biochemicals range and fits catalogues focused on specialty carbohydrates and polymer-related reagents. Laboratories engaged in viscosity studies, colloidal systems, or starch-analogue chemistry will find a clear chemical identity and pack presentation that integrate smoothly into existing protocols. Use according to established laboratory practice and consult the accompanying safety documentation for handling guidance.
