RNA- ▸ Laboratory reagent: Nucleic-acid substrate for research and molecular-biology workflows.
- ▸ Cosmetic skin conditioning: RNA ingredient for topical formulations.
- ▸ Biochemical feedstock: Source material for nucleotide and nucleoside processing.
A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →Ribonucleic acid (CAS 63231-63-0), a polynucleotide composed of ribonucleotide units. Commercially it is supplied as a biochemical reagent for laboratory and molecular-biology use and, in cosmetic grades, as a skin-conditioning ingredient.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ribonucleic acid used for commercially?
Ribonucleic acid (CAS 63231-63-0) is supplied as a biochemical reagent for laboratory and molecular-biology workflows, as a feedstock for nucleotide and nucleoside processing, and in cosmetic grades as a skin-conditioning ingredient. The intended use determines the grade and specification required.
What is ribonucleic acid (RNA) in simple terms?
RNA is a polynucleotide built from ribonucleotide units (a ribose sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogenous base). As a commercial material it is supplied as an isolated nucleic-acid substrate for research and as a raw material for downstream nucleotide chemistry.
What grades of ribonucleic acid are available?
Commercial RNA is offered in distinct purpose grades, typically a reagent/laboratory grade and a cosmetic grade for topical formulation. Specifications differ by grade; confirm assay, source, and intended-use suitability against the CoA before ordering.
What are the CAS and HS classifications for ribonucleic acid?
CAS 63231-63-0; HS classification 2934.99 (nucleic acids and their salts; other heterocyclic compounds). Use these identifiers for procurement and customs documentation, and request the SDS for handling data.
How is bulk ribonucleic acid quoted and documented?
Bulk RNA is quoted by quantity and grade rather than at a fixed list price. Submit an RFQ specifying your required grade (reagent vs cosmetic), quantity, and source; each shipment is supplied with a CoA and SDS.
What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)?
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) (CAS 63231-63-0) is listed as Active on the U.S. EPA TSCA Inventory; its REACH registration status is not determined from the public ECHA registry.
