Product Overview

Butanethiol, 98%, AcroSeal® is a high-purity thiol compound designed for demanding laboratory applications. Packaged in an innovative AcroSeal® bottle, it ensures maximum protection against leaks, oxidation, and contamination, preserving the compound’s integrity over extended storage periods. The 98% purity grade makes it suitable for sensitive analytical techniques, including gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, where trace impurities can significantly impact results. Its low molecular weight and high volatility enhance its utility in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions requiring thiol functional groups. The AcroSeal® packaging features a tamper-evident cap and a septa-compatible design, allowing for easy and precise aliquoting without exposing the entire contents to air. This reduces waste and minimizes the risk of degradation due to repeated opening. The compound’s strong, characteristic odor serves as a natural indicator of its presence, aiding in safe handling and spill detection. Compatible with most organic solvents, it integrates seamlessly into existing lab workflows, ensuring reproducibility and reliability in experimental outcomes. Whether used as a reagent, standard, or intermediate, this Butanethiol variant delivers consistent performance, backed by rigorous quality control measures to meet the exacting standards of modern research laboratories.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Butanethiol, 98%, AcroSeal® when stored properly?

When stored in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, the shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture. The AcroSeal® design minimizes air exposure, extending stability.

2. Is this Butanethiol compatible with glass or plastic labware?

Butanethiol is compatible with borosilicate glass and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) plastic. Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or standard plastic containers, as the compound may permeate or degrade certain polymers over time.

3. Can this product be used as a substitute for other thiol compounds like Ethanethiol?

While Butanethiol shares functional similarities with other thiols, its longer carbon chain alters reactivity and odor profile. Substitution depends on the specific application—consult reaction mechanisms or literature to confirm suitability for your protocol.

4. How should I dispose of unused or expired Butanethiol?

Dispose of Butanethiol according to local hazardous waste regulations. Neutralize small quantities with an oxidizing agent (e.g., sodium hypochlorite) in a fume hood, then incinerate or landfill as permitted. Never discard untreated thiols in drains or regular trash.

5. Does the AcroSeal® packaging require special handling during shipping?

The AcroSeal® bottle is designed for safe transport, but it should be placed in a secondary container with absorbent material to contain leaks. Ensure caps are tightly sealed and ship as a flammable liquid (UN1228) with proper documentation for hazardous materials.
