Product Overview
Isobutyl Alcohol LR is a high-purity laboratory-grade solvent designed for demanding research and analytical applications. This colorless liquid features a characteristic odor and boasts a minimum assay of 99%, ensuring reliable performance in critical procedures. With its low moisture content (typically <0.1%), it minimizes interference in sensitive reactions and chromatographic separations. The LR grade designation guarantees compliance with stringent laboratory standards, making it suitable for use in organic synthesis, solvent extraction, and as a mobile phase in chromatography. Its moderate boiling point of 108°C allows for easy evaporation when required, while the density of 0.802 g/mL at 20°C ensures precise volume measurements. The solvent's miscibility with most organic solvents enhances its versatility in multi-component systems. Packaged in high-density polyethylene bottles, this Isobutyl Alcohol maintains its purity during storage and transportation. The product undergoes rigorous quality control testing to verify its identity, purity, and performance characteristics, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of analysis for traceability and quality assurance.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Isobutyl Alcohol LR and AR grades?
LR (Laboratory Reagent) grade is suitable for general laboratory applications where high purity is important but not critical, while AR (Analytical Reagent) grade offers higher purity levels for more sensitive analytical procedures and is typically more expensive.
2. Can this Isobutyl Alcohol be used for HPLC applications?
While Isobutyl Alcohol LR is of high purity, for HPLC applications we recommend using HPLC-grade solvents specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of high-performance liquid chromatography regarding UV absorbance and residue levels.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?
Always use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and safety goggles, and avoid inhalation or skin contact as it may cause irritation.
4. How should Isobutyl Alcohol be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in tightly sealed original containers to prevent moisture absorption and contamination from the environment.
5. What is the typical shelf life of this product when stored properly?
When stored under recommended conditions in unopened containers, Isobutyl Alcohol LR typically maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
