Questions

  1. Se especifica que es una mezcla, pero no de qué ¿Cuál es la fórmula molecular de la sustancia? ¿Serviría para hacer test de presencia de astaxantina en salmón como práctica de laboratorio? Muchas gracias

    1 answer

    1. This is a product of the United States Pharmacopeia. The approximate Astaxanthin distribution is 75% monoester, 20% diester and 5% free and the molecular weight is determined to be 596.84 g/mol of the current lot. It would be up to the end user to determine the suitability for a specific assay.
