FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 1-Butanol PHOTREX™ reagent?

When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, this reagent maintains its purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Is this product compatible with plastic containers?

While it can be temporarily stored in HDPE or PTFE containers, prolonged storage in plastic may cause leaching. Glass containers with PTFE-lined caps are recommended for long-term storage.

3. What alternatives exist for similar applications?

For comparable solvent properties, consider n-butanol or isobutanol, though purity levels and evaporation rates may vary. Always verify compatibility with your specific application.

4. How should I handle spills of this reagent?

Absorb spills with inert materials like sand or vermiculite, then dispose of according to local regulations. Avoid skin contact and ensure proper ventilation during cleanup.

5. Does this product require special disposal procedures?

As a flammable liquid, it should be disposed of through licensed chemical waste handlers following your institution’s hazardous waste protocols. Never dispose of in regular trash or drains.
