Product Overview
2-Butanone (99.5%, Extra Dry) is a high-purity solvent designed for precision laboratory applications. The Extra Dry grade ensures minimal moisture content, making it suitable for moisture-sensitive reactions and processes. Packaged in AcroSeal® containers, this solvent maintains its integrity by preventing contamination and evaporation, ensuring consistent performance. Its low water content and high purity level reduce the risk of side reactions, making it ideal for critical applications where solvent quality is paramount. The solvent’s balanced evaporation rate and solvency power make it versatile for use in extractions, chromatography, and organic synthesis. The AcroSeal® packaging further enhances shelf life by providing an airtight seal, minimizing exposure to atmospheric moisture. This product is a reliable choice for laboratories requiring a dependable, high-quality solvent with stringent purity standards.
FAQs
1. What is the significance of the Extra Dry grade in 2-Butanone?
The Extra Dry grade indicates that the solvent has undergone rigorous drying processes to achieve a moisture content of less than 0.005%. This is critical for applications where even trace amounts of water can interfere with reactions or compromise results.
2. Can this solvent be used for HPLC applications?
While 2-Butanone is not a common mobile phase for HPLC, its high purity and low UV absorbance make it suitable for sample preparation and extraction steps in HPLC workflows.
3. How does AcroSeal® packaging improve solvent stability?
AcroSeal® packaging features a specialized septum and bottle design that minimizes air exposure and moisture ingress, preserving solvent purity and extending shelf life.
4. Is this product compatible with standard lab glassware?
Yes, 2-Butanone is compatible with most borosilicate glassware. However, avoid prolonged storage in plastic containers, as it may dissolve certain polymers.
5. What is the typical shelf life of this product when stored properly?
When stored in its original AcroSeal® packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, the product maintains its specifications for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
