FAQs
What is the difference between glycerol and glycerine?
Glycerol and glycerine refer to the same chemical compound (C3H8O3). The term “glycerine” is commonly used for commercial products, while “glycerol” is the official IUPAC name used in scientific contexts.
Can this glycerol SQ be used in food applications?
While this is laboratory-grade glycerol, Qualigens also offers food-grade versions. For food applications, we recommend checking our food-grade glycerol products specifically designed for culinary and pharmaceutical uses.
What is the shelf life of this glycerol SQ?
When stored properly in its original container at room temperature, this glycerol SQ maintains its quality for up to 2 years. Always check the manufacturing date on the label for precise expiration information.
Is this glycerol suitable for DNA extraction?
Yes, high-purity glycerol SQ is commonly used in molecular biology for DNA extraction and storage. Its ability to prevent enzyme denaturation makes it valuable in various biochemical protocols.
How should I dispose of unused glycerol?
Follow your institution’s chemical waste disposal protocols. While glycerol is biodegradable, large quantities should be disposed of through proper chemical waste channels rather than regular drainage systems.
