Description
Luminol sodium salt is a chemiluminescent biochemical reagent with CAS number 20666-12-0 and empirical formula C₈H₆N₃O₂Na. Its molar mass is 199,14 g/mol, supporting precise stoichiometric work in analytical and life-science laboratories. The ionic salt improves handling and dissolution compared with the free acid in many aqueous buffer systems, making it suitable for method development, teaching laboratories, and routine analytical workflows. Researchers value luminol-based reagents for their strong light-emitting response under alkaline oxidative conditions, enabling visual or instrumental readout with high contrast. This material fits biochemical catalogues focused on detection chemistry and specialty organic salts. Clear identification via CAS and molecular formula supports documentation, inventory control, and reproducible preparation of working solutions across research and quality-control environments.

Questions about Luminol sodium salt, 10 g
What is this article?
Luminol sodium salt, 10 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Enzymes & substrates, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
An enzyme is sold by activity, in units defined by a stated reaction, not only by milligrams. Source and specific activity are the specification. A substrate is the molecule that enzyme converts, often a chromogenic one so the reaction can be seen. Units from two suppliers are comparable only when the definition matches.
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.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Biochemicals & reagents. The sub-category is Enzymes & substrates. The catalogue is Microbiology lab supplies.
