Imidazole, 99+%
1,3-Diazo-2,4-cyclopentadiene; 1H-Imidazole; 1,3-Diazacyclopenta-2,4-diene; 1,3-diazole

Karl Fischer reagent. Imidazole can be used for the elution of histidine containing proteins from divalent cation resins. Imidazole can be used to prepare buffers in the pH range of 6.2-7.8 at 25°C. It is also a chelator for the binding of various divalent cations.
