Product Overview
Isopropyl acetate BAKER ANALYZED™ reagent is a high-purity solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications. This reagent-grade ester offers exceptional consistency, low moisture content, and minimal impurities, making it ideal for chromatography, extractions, and analytical procedures. Its balanced evaporation rate and solubility properties ensure reliable performance in organic synthesis and sample preparation. The BAKER ANALYZED™ certification guarantees strict quality control, with each batch tested for purity and compliance with industry standards. This solvent is particularly valued for its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds while maintaining stability under various conditions. Whether used as a reaction medium or for purification processes, its predictable behavior and high purity reduce experimental variability. The 4 L packaging provides convenient bulk supply for frequent laboratory use while maintaining product integrity through proper sealing. As a versatile reagent, it serves as an excellent alternative to other acetate solvents when specific volatility or polarity characteristics are required.
FAQs
1. What is the evaporation rate of isopropyl acetate compared to ethyl acetate?
Isopropyl acetate evaporates slightly slower than ethyl acetate due to its branched structure, offering a more controlled drying process in applications where rapid solvent loss is undesirable.
2. Can this reagent be used in HPLC mobile phases?
While primarily used in general chromatography, its UV cutoff and potential additive requirements should be verified against specific HPLC method protocols before use in mobile phases.
3. What storage conditions are recommended to maintain purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture sources, with proper ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation.
4. How does the BAKER ANALYZED™ grade differ from ACS grade?
BAKER ANALYZED™ grade focuses on consistent analytical performance with specified impurity profiles, while ACS grade meets American Chemical Society purity standards for general laboratory use.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?
Use in a fume hood with proper PPE including gloves and goggles, as it is flammable and may cause irritation upon contact with skin or inhalation of vapors.
