FAQs
1. What is the typical purity level of this 1-Propanol reagent?
The BAKER ANALYZED™ grade typically ensures purity levels exceeding 99.5%, with detailed specifications available in the certificate of analysis provided with each batch.
2. Can this 1-Propanol be used as a substitute for ethanol in protocols?
While chemically similar, 1-Propanol has different solubility properties and a higher boiling point than ethanol, which may affect reaction kinetics and separation efficiency in certain protocols.
3. What type of container material is recommended for long-term storage?
Glass containers with PTFE-lined caps are ideal for long-term storage, as they prevent contamination and minimize evaporation while maintaining the reagent’s purity.
4. How does the evaporation rate compare to isopropanol?
1-Propanol evaporates more slowly than isopropanol due to its higher boiling point, making it more suitable for applications requiring prolonged solvent exposure.
5. What documentation is provided with each batch of this reagent?
Each batch includes a certificate of analysis detailing purity levels, impurity profiles, and quality control test results, along with safety data sheets and handling instructions.
