Product Overview
Iso-Amyl Acetate is a high-quality laboratory solvent known for its excellent solvency power and pleasant fruity aroma. This clear, colorless liquid is widely used in chemical synthesis, extraction processes, and chromatographic applications due to its low toxicity and high purity. With a boiling point of approximately 142°C, it offers stable performance in various laboratory conditions. The solvent is miscible with most organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, making it ideal for specific separation techniques. Its low volatility ensures minimal evaporation loss during prolonged use, while its non-corrosive nature makes it safe for use with standard lab equipment. This laboratory-grade Iso-Amyl Acetate undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistency and reliability in experimental procedures. The 500 ml packaging provides an optimal quantity for regular laboratory use while maintaining freshness and preventing contamination.
FAQs
1. What is the primary use of Iso-Amyl Acetate in laboratories?
It is commonly used as a solvent in chemical synthesis, extraction processes, and as a mobile phase in chromatography due to its selective solvency properties.
2. Is this product compatible with plastic labware?
Yes, Iso-Amyl Acetate is generally safe for use with most standard laboratory plastics, though prolonged exposure may cause slight swelling in some polymers.
3. What alternatives exist for similar applications?
Ethyl acetate or butyl acetate can serve as alternatives, though they have different volatility and solvency characteristics that may affect experimental outcomes.
4. How should Iso-Amyl Acetate be stored for long-term use?
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation.
5. Is this product sourced from petroleum or natural sources?
This laboratory-grade Iso-Amyl Acetate is synthetically produced to ensure consistent purity and performance in analytical applications.
