The laboratory-grade purity of this reagent minimizes impurities, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in experimental procedures. Whether used as a reaction medium, extraction solvent, or chromatographic eluent, 3-Pentanol provides consistent performance. Its balanced polarity enables effective separation of compounds in analytical techniques while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of laboratory equipment. The reagent is packaged in high-quality containers to preserve its integrity during storage and handling, meeting the stringent requirements of research environments.
FAQs
1. What is the boiling point of 3-Pentanol?
3-Pentanol has a boiling point of approximately 115-116°C at standard atmospheric pressure.
2. Can 3-Pentanol be used as a substitute for ethanol in lab procedures?
While both are alcohols, 3-Pentanol has different solubility properties and a higher boiling point than ethanol, which may affect reaction outcomes.
3. How should 3-Pentanol be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances.
4. What safety precautions should be taken when handling 3-Pentanol?
Use in a well-ventilated area, wear appropriate protective equipment, and avoid inhalation or skin contact.
5. Is 3-Pentanol compatible with plastic containers for long-term storage?
It is generally compatible with HDPE or PTFE containers, but glass is preferred for long-term storage to prevent potential leaching.
