(trans, trans)-Abscisic acid is the 2-trans geometric isomer of abscisic acid and is largely biologically inactive, unlike the natural plant hormone (S)-2-cis,4-trans-abscisic acid. It is used mainly as an analytical reference standard and as an inactive-isomer control in plant physiology research. Available in high purity with a CAS number of 6755-41-5, it is supplied in various quantities. Molekula supplies (trans, trans)-Abscisic acid from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.

This substance is available from Molekula on enquiry. Full specification, Safety Data Sheet and Certificate of Analysis documentation are provided with your quotation once our team confirms the grade and pack size you need.
