Urea（Cat No.:R017135）, is a colorless, odorless, and highly soluble organic compound composed of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. It is a vital nitrogen-containing chemical found in urine, as it is a waste product of protein metabolism in humans and animals. Urea serves several essential roles, including as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture due to its high nitrogen content. It’s also used in various industries, such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, for its moisturizing properties. In laboratory settings, urea is employed in biochemical and molecular biology techniques like protein denaturation and as a reagent in the synthesis of organic compounds.
