Product Overview
Isobutyl Alcohol Reference Standard is a high-purity analytical reagent designed for precise laboratory applications. This ACS-grade solvent, with a purity of 99% or higher, ensures accurate and reproducible results in chromatography, spectroscopy, and calibration procedures. Its low water content and minimal impurities make it ideal for use as a reference material in quantitative analysis, where consistency and reliability are critical. The compound’s molecular structure, characterized by a branched alkyl chain, provides distinct retention times in chromatographic separations, aiding in the identification and quantification of analytes. Its compatibility with a wide range of organic solvents and detection methods further enhances its utility in analytical workflows. The standard is supplied in a sealed, amber glass bottle to prevent degradation from light exposure, ensuring long-term stability and performance. Whether used in gas chromatography (GC) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), this reference standard delivers the precision required for research, quality control, and method validation.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Isobutyl Alcohol Reference Standard?
The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always check the label for the exact expiry date.
2. Can this reference standard be used for GC-MS analysis?
Yes, this high-purity Isobutyl Alcohol Reference Standard is suitable for GC-MS applications due to its low impurity profile and consistent retention time.
3. Is this product compatible with plastic containers for storage?
While short-term storage in HDPE or PTFE containers is possible, long-term storage in glass is recommended to prevent potential leaching or contamination.
4. What alternatives exist if this reference standard is unavailable?
Alternatives include n-Butyl Alcohol Reference Standard or tert-Butyl Alcohol Reference Standard, though retention times and polarity may differ slightly.
5. How should I dispose of unused Isobutyl Alcohol Reference Standard?
Dispose of according to local chemical waste regulations. Incineration or approved solvent disposal methods are typically recommended for organic solvents.
