Description
L(-)-Fucose is a monosaccharide biochemical reagent with a minimum purity of 98 %, specified for biochemistry applications. It is identified by CAS number 2438-80-4 and the empirical formula C₆H₁₂O₅, and has a molar mass of 164,16 g/mol. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH in the carbohydrates and monosaccharides range, L(-)-Fucose provides a defined deoxyhexose building block for protocols that require a high-purity sugar standard. Documented identity includes EG number 219-452-7, which assists method recording and inventory control. Laboratories employ this reagent in structural carbohydrate studies, enzymatic assays, labelling strategies and the preparation of reference solutions where the stereochemistry of the L-enantiomer is essential. The compact pack size supports economical use in specialised workflows without excess material. L(-)-Fucose is intended for professional laboratory use across life-science, biotechnological and analytical biochemistry environments that depend on consistent monosaccharide quality for reproducible experimental outcomes.

Questions about L(-)-Fucose, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 1 g, glass
What is this article?
L(-)-Fucose, min. 98 %, for biochemistry, 1 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 Microbiology lab supplies.
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.
