Vanillin, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Vanillin is a flavoring agent used in sweet foods, ice cream and chocolate. It is used in perfumes as well as to control the unpleasant odors in medicines. It acts as a chemical intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceuticals. In thin layer chromatography, it is used as a general-purpose stain for developing TLC plates to enable in visualizing components of a reaction mixture. Similarly, vanillin hydro chloride staining can be used to visualize the localization of tannins in cells.

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.
