Glycine, ≥98,5 %, Ph.Eur., USP, 250 g, plastic

Glycine is a high-purity amino acid reagent meeting Ph.Eur. and USP requirements with an assay of ≥98,5 %. It carries CAS number 56-40-6 and EG number 200-272-2, the empirical formula C₂H₅NO₂, a molar mass of 75,07 g/mol, a density of 1,161 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 375,7 °C. As the simplest proteinogenic amino acid, glycine is a standard component of buffer systems, electrophoresis running buffers, cell-culture media supplements and peptide or organic synthesis routes. size suits method development, QC laboratories and production-support weighing without excessive open-container exposure. Specifications follow the manufacturer data from Carl ROTH, supporting pharmacopoeial and research applications where documented identity and purity are essential. The solid dissolves readily in aqueous media and integrates smoothly into protocols that rely on a neutral, low-molecular-weight amino acid with well-defined physicochemical properties.
