Understanding Catalysts
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, or lowers the temperature or pressure needed to start one, without itself being consumed during the reaction. Catalysis is the process of adding a catalyst to facilitate a reaction.
CP Lab Chemicals can provide a wide array of organometallic
catalysts used in organic chemistry, hydrogenation reactions and chiral
synthesis, with BINAP, Ferrocene-Palladium, and SEGPHOS catalysts
readily available, of hi-purity and also availabl

What are Biochemicals?
Biochemical compounds make up the cells and other structures of organisms and carry out life processes. Most biochemical compounds are very large molecules called polymers, built of repeating units of smaller compounds called monomers. There are millions of different biochemical compounds but they all contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Most can be classified under four major classes: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. We offer various biochemicals from adenine, cytosine

Conductivity and Total Dissolved Solids
Conductivity of electricity (EC) in a liquid and water shows differences dependent on the chemicals and substances found in the solution, where solids, salts, and contaminants, increase the EC value, while pure and drinking water has a lower EC value.The EC value is measured in microSiemens (µS/cm) and readings generally fall between 30 µS/cm to 2000 µS/cm, for water of high quality while ocean water and brine will have a reading of approximately 40,000 µS/cm and greater. Higher values also sig

Understanding Common Lab Solvents
Solvents are a class of chemicals defined by their function. Solvents are used to dissolve, suspend or extract other materials without chemically changing the components.
There are more than 1000 solvent varieties used in research, spectroscopy, analytical chemistry and manufacturing industries. They come in Research, Technical, USP, HPLC, LCMS, ACS Reagent, ASTM Types 1-IV, NIST Traceable, and Spectral grades, as well as molecular biology grades and pre-made mixtures as DNAse-free solut
