Product Overview

1-Propanol, 99.5% Extra Dry, is a high-purity solvent designed for critical laboratory applications where moisture contamination must be minimized. Packaged in AcroSeal® bottles, this reagent ensures long-term stability and protection against atmospheric moisture, making it ideal for sensitive reactions and analytical procedures. The 99.5% purity level guarantees minimal impurities, reducing the risk of side reactions or inaccurate results in chromatography, spectroscopy, or synthesis workflows. Its low water content (typically <50 ppm) enhances performance in moisture-sensitive processes, such as Grignard reactions or air-sensitive catalysis. The solvent’s consistent quality is maintained through rigorous quality control, ensuring batch-to-batch reliability for researchers and analysts. Its versatility extends to use as a cleaning agent for lab glassware or as a mobile phase in HPLC, where high purity is paramount. The AcroSeal® packaging further simplifies handling, with a secure cap system that prevents leaks and evaporation, preserving the solvent’s integrity until use.

FAQs

1. What is the water content in this 1-Propanol, and why does it matter?

The water content is typically below 50 ppm, which is critical for moisture-sensitive reactions like organometallic synthesis or anhydrous processes where trace water can disrupt outcomes.

2. Can this solvent be used for HPLC or GC analysis?

Yes, the 99.5% purity and low UV absorbance make it suitable for HPLC mobile phases or GC applications, provided the system is compatible with alcoholic solvents.

3. How does AcroSeal® packaging improve shelf life?

The AcroSeal® system uses a specialized cap and bottle design to minimize air exposure and moisture ingress, extending the solvent’s stability compared to standard packaging.

4. Is this 1-Propanol compatible with plastic labware?

While it can be used with most lab plastics like PP or PTFE, prolonged contact may affect materials like polystyrene; always verify compatibility with your specific equipment.

5. What alternatives exist if I need a lower-purity 1-Propanol?

For general cleaning or less sensitive applications, 1-Propanol at 95% or 70% purity is available, though these lack the moisture control of the Extra Dry grade.
