What Thymine powder Is

 

Thymine (chemical name 5-methyluracil; CAS 65-71-4) is a naturally occurring nucleobase - one of the four fundamental building blocks of DNA (alongside adenine, guanine, and cytosine). In its pure form, it appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with the empirical formula C₅H₆N₂O₂ and a molecular weight of ~126.11 g/mol.

 

This product is typically supplied as a high-purity, fine crystalline powder. It is an essential raw material and standard reagent in molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmaceutical research, and in vitro diagnostics (IVD).
