Product Overview

1-Butanol (Butanol), HPLC-grade, is a high-purity solvent designed for demanding chromatographic applications where precision and consistency are critical. With a minimum assay of ≥99.9%, this reagent ensures minimal interference in analytical procedures, offering low UV absorbance and negligible residual impurities. Its controlled evaporation rate and compatibility with common mobile phases make it a preferred choice for HPLC, GC, and other sensitive techniques. The solvent undergoes rigorous purification to eliminate trace metals, water, and organic contaminants, ensuring batch-to-batch reproducibility. Its stable shelf life and resistance to oxidative degradation further enhance its reliability in long-term lab storage. Whether used as a standalone solvent or in gradient elution, this HPLC-grade 1-Butanol delivers sharp peak resolution and baseline stability, reducing the need for frequent column maintenance. The 1LT and 2.5LT pack sizes cater to both small-scale research and bulk requirements, providing flexibility without compromising quality.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of HPLC-grade 1-Butanol when stored properly?

The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

2. Can this 1-Butanol be used for LC-MS applications?

While it is primarily formulated for HPLC, its high purity makes it suitable for LC-MS as long as the system is compatible with alcoholic solvents and no additional ion suppression is introduced.

3. How does this compare to ACS-grade 1-Butanol?

HPLC-grade 1-Butanol undergoes stricter purification to remove UV-absorbing impurities, making it superior for chromatographic applications compared to ACS-grade, which is optimized for general lab use.

4. What precautions should be taken during handling?

Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles, and avoid inhalation or skin contact due to its flammable and irritant properties.

5. Is this solvent compatible with plastic containers for long-term storage?

For long-term storage, glass or HDPE containers are recommended, as 1-Butanol can gradually degrade certain plastics like LDPE or polypropylene over extended periods.
