Product Overview
1-Octanol LR is a high-purity, laboratory-grade solvent widely used in analytical and synthetic applications. As an eight-carbon aliphatic alcohol, it exhibits low volatility and limited water solubility, making it ideal for liquid-liquid extraction processes. Its non-polar nature allows effective separation of hydrophobic compounds in chromatography, while its mild odor and stability ensure consistent performance in organic synthesis. The LR grade designation guarantees a minimum assay purity of 98%, with controlled levels of impurities like aldehydes and water content. This solvent maintains excellent thermal stability up to 195°C, suitable for reflux reactions. The 500 ml pack size provides sufficient volume for routine lab procedures while minimizing storage space. Its clear, colorless appearance allows easy visual inspection for contaminants. The bottle comes with a secure screw cap to prevent evaporation and contamination during storage.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between 1-Octanol LR and AR grades?
LR grade has slightly lower purity (98%+) compared to AR grade (99%+), with marginally higher impurity limits for water and residual solvents. LR is suitable for most routine applications.
2. Can this solvent be used with plastic labware?
1-Octanol may dissolve certain plastics like polystyrene. Use with glass or HDPE containers for long-term storage and procedures.
3. What is the typical shelf life of unopened 1-Octanol?
When stored in original sealed containers at room temperature, it maintains specifications for 24 months from manufacture date.
4. How should I dispose of waste containing 1-Octanol?
Collect in designated solvent waste containers and dispose through authorized hazardous waste handlers as per local environmental regulations.
5. Does this product contain any stabilizers or additives?
No, this LR grade 1-Octanol is supplied without added stabilizers or preservatives to maintain purity for analytical applications.
