Product Overview
3-Methyl-1-butanol, also known as isoamyl alcohol, is a high-purity (99%) solvent designed specifically for biochemistry applications. Packaged in AcroSeal® containers, it ensures minimal exposure to moisture and contaminants, preserving its integrity for critical lab procedures. This alcohol exhibits a characteristic fusel oil odor and is miscible with most organic solvents, making it a versatile choice for extractions, syntheses, and chromatographic separations. Its low water content and consistent batch-to-batch purity reduce variability in experimental results, while its sealed packaging extends shelf life. The biochemistry-grade certification guarantees compliance with stringent lab standards, ensuring reliability in sensitive applications. Whether used as a reaction medium or for purification processes, this solvent delivers reproducible performance without interfering residues. The AcroSeal® technology further enhances safety by minimizing evaporation losses and reducing the risk of contamination during storage.
FAQs
1. What is the boiling point of 3-Methyl-1-butanol?
The boiling point of 3-Methyl-1-butanol is approximately 130°C, which makes it suitable for applications requiring moderate temperature conditions.
2. Is this product compatible with glassware and standard lab plastics?
Yes, it is compatible with borosilicate glass and common lab plastics like PP and HDPE, but prolonged exposure may affect some polymers.
3. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for general lab use?
Lower-grade isoamyl alcohol (e.g., 95% purity) is available for non-critical applications, though it may contain trace impurities.
4. How should 3-Methyl-1-butanol be stored for long-term use?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
5. Does this product contain any stabilizers or additives?
No, this is a pure 99% formulation without added stabilizers, ensuring minimal interference in biochemical reactions.
