About Imidazole, 99%

Listed under CAS 288-32-4, Imidazole is a biological buffer available from Vaqora Chemicals at a purity of 99%. Its molecular formula is C3H4N2 and its molecular weight is 68.08 g/mol. Systematically, it is named 1H-imidazole. Alternative names: 1,3-Diaza-2,4-cyclopentadiene and Glyoxaline.

In its supplied form it is white to pale yellow crystalline or flakes or crystals. Literature values give a melting point of 88-91 °C and a density of 1.03 g/cm3 at 20 °C. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include buffer preparation, cell culture, electrophoresis and chromatography and coordination chemistry. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and diagnostics and biotechnology.

Available in 100 g, 500 g, 5 kg and 25 kg packs, Imidazole is dispatched with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to destinations worldwide.
