About Cortisone, 98%

Cortisone is a lipid carrying the CAS registry number 53-06-5, specified at ≥98% purity. With the molecular formula C21H28O5, it has a molar mass of 360.4 g/mol. It is also known as 17α,21-Dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,11,20-trione or 17α-Hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone.

In its supplied form it is white to off-white powder or crystals. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Key uses span lipid research, membrane and liposome studies and nutritional research. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and diagnostics and biotechnology.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Cortisone in 250 mg and 1 g packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and technical specifications are available on request.
