Creatinine is a nitrogenous organic compound produced by muscle metabolism and excreted in urine, commonly used as a biomarker for kidney function. Buyers use it as a bulking agent in freeze-dried formulations and as a reference material in laboratory assays that determine renal function. It is also employed in biochemical research and quality control testing. Available with a CAS number of 60-27-5, molecular formula C4H7N3O, and molecular weight 113.12 g/mol. Stored at ambient temperature with no signal word. Molekula supplies Creatinine from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
