meso-Erythritol, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

meso-Erythritol is used to support the carbon source growth requirement of Gluconobacter bacteria. It is also used in the chemical analysis of the reactivity of various radicals and radical anions, in encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) to study its potential use in microelectronics cooling applications, as a reference compound in purification and analytical procedures developed to test fermentation broths.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
