Description
Caffeine anhydrous is a laboratory reagent for biochemistry with a minimum purity of 98,5 %, CAS number 58-08-2 and empirical formula C₈H₁₀N₄O₂. Characterised by a molar mass of 194,20 g/mol and a density of 1,23 g/cm³, this anhydrous methylxanthine supports precise weighing and solution preparation in research and analytical workflows. It is Scientists employ caffeine anhydrous when preparing calibration standards, studying enzyme kinetics or formulating experimental media that require a defined caffeine content. The combination of documented purity, clear physical constants and a practical pack size makes the product suitable for routine bench work as well as method development. Its anhydrous form reduces variability associated with water of crystallisation, helping laboratories maintain consistent reagent performance across successive experiments and analytical runs.

Questions about Caffeine anhydrous, min. 98.5 %, for biochemistry, 50 g, plastic
What is this article?
Caffeine anhydrous, min. 98.5 %, for biochemistry, 50 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Inorganic salts, inside Inorganic chemicals, in Lab chemicals.
An inorganic salt is an ionic solid, a chloride, a sulfate, a nitrate, a phosphate. The degree of hydration changes the mass that contains one mole of the ion. Analytical grade limits the foreign ions. A hydrate and the anhydrous salt are not interchangeable by weight.
An inorganic chemical is a salt, an acid or base in solid form, a metal, an oxide, or an element. The waters of hydration are part of the formula: a hydrate and an anhydrous salt are different masses for the same ion. Trace metals matter when the salt will be used in analysis. Nanomaterials add particle size to the specification. Look the substance up on PubChem. Hazard classes are on ECHA, under the CLP Regulation and REACH. Transport of the dangerous ones is explained by the UNECE.
