Product Overview
Ethyl acetate, 99.8% purity, is a high-grade solvent specifically formulated for biochemistry applications, delivered in AcroSeal® packaging to ensure maximum stability and minimal contamination. This low-water, low-acidity variant is ideal for critical processes where solvent purity directly impacts results. The AcroSeal® technology provides an airtight barrier, preventing moisture absorption and oxidation, which extends shelf life and maintains consistency across experiments. With a boiling point of 77°C and excellent solvency for a wide range of organic compounds, this ethyl acetate offers rapid evaporation without residue, making it a preferred choice for extractions, chromatography, and synthesis workflows. Its low toxicity profile and pleasant odor further enhance its usability in laboratory environments. The 99.8% purity level ensures minimal interference in analytical procedures, while the biochemistry-grade certification guarantees compliance with stringent quality standards. Whether used as a reaction medium or for purification steps, this ethyl acetate delivers reproducible performance batch after batch.
FAQs
1. What is the evaporation rate of this ethyl acetate compared to standard grades?
This 99.8% biochemistry-grade ethyl acetate has a slightly faster evaporation rate than technical grades due to its higher purity and lower water content, which reduces boiling point elevation.
2. Can this be used with plastic labware like polypropylene tubes?
Ethyl acetate is known to dissolve certain plastics; always verify compatibility with your specific labware material or use glass containers for long-term storage.
3. How does AcroSeal® packaging differ from regular bottles?
AcroSeal® features a multi-layer barrier that actively blocks moisture and oxygen ingress, unlike standard bottles that may allow gradual contamination over time.
4. What’s the typical shelf life when stored unopened?
When stored unopened in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, this ethyl acetate maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
5. Are there any stabilizers added to this grade?
No stabilizers are added to this 99.8% biochemistry-grade ethyl acetate, as it’s designed for applications where additional additives could interfere with results.
