Why did M4667, (±)-Mevalonolactone, arrive as a liquid?
1 answer-
As noted on the Sigma Aldrich web page for product M4667, (±)-Mevalonolactone, this product "may also be a liquid". The melting point for this chemical is 26-28°C, which is approximately room temperature. Because of this, the product may arrive as a liquid, but if stored at -20°C it should return to a solid/semi-solid state. This product does not arrive in solution and will not have a concentration value.
