Description
Pyruvic acid ethyl ester is an organic keto-ester offered at a minimum purity of 90 % for laboratory and biochemical use. It carries CAS number 617-35-6 and the empirical formula C₅H₈O₃, with a molar mass of 116,12 g/mol and a density of 1,045 g/cm³. The flash point is 46 °C. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH is suitable for everyday laboratory handling and intermediate preparation. Physical constants such as density and molar mass enable precise formulation, dosing and safety planning. The product serves as a versatile building block in organic chemistry and as a reference material in analytical settings. Research groups working in fine chemicals, biochemistry or method development benefit from the convenient pack size for both screening experiments and larger preparative runs, while documented specifications aid quality records and stoichiometric calculations throughout the workflow.

Questions about Pyruvic acid ethyl ester, min. 90 %, 250 g
What is this article?
Pyruvic acid ethyl ester, min. 90 %, 250 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
