Description
Potassium acetate is an inorganic salt offered at min. 99 % purity in the CELLPURE® grade, with CAS number 127-08-2 and empirical formula K(CH₃COO). It has a molar mass of 98,15 g/mol, a density of 1,57 g/cm³, and a boiling point of 392,4 °C. The salt is commonly applied in cell-culture reagent preparation, buffer systems, and molecular-biology workflows that require a defined potassium and acetate source. Consistent purity supports reproducible ionic strength and pH adjustment in aqueous systems. EG number 204-822-2 together with the CAS identifier facilitates inventory control and safety documentation. The crystalline solid dissolves readily under standard laboratory conditions, making it practical for preparing stock solutions used in cell biology and related biochemical applications.
This article belongs on Cell culture accessories, in Cell culture.

Questions about Potassium acetate, min. 99 %, CELLPURE®, 250 g, plastic
What is this article?
Potassium acetate, min. 99 %, CELLPURE®, 250 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Cell culture accessories, inside Cell culture, in Microbiologie.
Cell-culture accessories are the pipettes, the filters and the small tools that stay sterile around a cabinet: aspirators, tube caps, rack inserts. The point is sterility and a material that does not leach into the medium. A non-sterile version of the same shape is a different article.
Cell culture grows cells outside the body. The medium, often with serum, supplies what the flask does not. A flask or a dish is the vessel, treated so the cells attach or left untreated so they float. Contamination by microbes, or by another cell line, is the ordinary failure. Cold-chain articles in this work, including serum, are never part of free standard delivery. Lines are catalogued by ATCC. Papers are on PubMed. Practice is summarised by the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Cell culture. The sub-category is Cell culture accessories. The catalogue is Microbiologie.
Shelves beside this one are Cell culture media & sera, Cell culture flasks, Cell culture plates & dishes and Cell strainers, inserts & scrapers.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
