Urea (Standard)

• UNSPSC Description:

  Urea (Standard) is the analytical standard of Urea. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Urea is a powerful protein denaturant via both direct and indirect mechanisms[1]. A potent emollient and keratolytic agent[2]. Used as a diuretic agent. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) has been utilized to evaluate renal function[3]. Widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and is an important raw material for the chemical industry.
