About Pyridoxal

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Pyridoxal, a high-purity reference standard of Pyridoxal registered under CAS number 66-72-8. With the molecular formula C8H9NO3, it has a molar mass of 167.16 g/mol. Systematically, it is named 3-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpyridine-4-carbaldehyde. It is also known as Piridoxal or nchembio.93-comp2.

It is supplied as a solid. Store the standard in its sealed vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage condition printed on the COA. Under GHS it is labelled “Warning”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

As a reference sample of Pyridoxal, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
