Description
Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid offered at a minimum purity of 99 % in natural quality, identified by CAS number 112-80-1 and the empirical formula C₁₈H₃₄O₂. With a molar mass of 282,47 g/mol and a density of 0,89 g/cm³, the compound shows a boiling range of 360 to 390 °C and a flash point of 189 °C. It is Identity and physical data from manufacturer Carl ROTH support confident selection for research, method development and quality-control tasks. Natural oleic acid at this assay level is widely used where a well-characterised unsaturated C₁₈ carboxylic acid is required as a reference material, calibration component or synthetic building block. The compact glass presentation suits small-scale experiments and economical dispensing while preserving reagent integrity during routine laboratory handling and storage workflows.

What is this article?
Oleic acid, min. 99%, natural, 5 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Lipids, steroids & fatty acids, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A lipid, a steroid or a fatty acid is specified by chain length, saturation and purity. Esters and free acids are different compounds. Many are supplied in a small amount under inert gas because they oxidise. The physical form, oil or powder, follows from the structure.
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.
