Overview
B12 is presented here as a laboratory reference entry. The Research Profile summarizes literature-based biological context, while this Overview documents the identity record, specification set, preparation format, and quality-reference information available on the page.
The identity block lists CAS number 68-19-9, molecular formula C₆₃H₈₈CoN₁₄O₁₄P, and molecular weight 1,355.4 Da. The material record is paired with ≥99% purity information and a lyophilized presentation for reference review.
Available specification labels include 10mg. The active selection is 10mg; changing the selector updates the visible specification label and COA lot references while preserving the same research-reference context.
For the active selection, the page currently shows 1 active COA lot reference. COA links, when present, are retained for batch-level purity, identity, and quantity review, while packaging and storage details remain separated in Structure & Identity.
