Product Overview

n-Butanol 99.9% GC is a high-purity, colorless liquid with a characteristic mild odor, widely used as a solvent in laboratory applications. This grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical procedures, including chromatography and extraction processes. Its balanced polarity allows for effective dissolution of both polar and non-polar compounds, enhancing its versatility in chemical synthesis and sample preparation. The 99.9% GC purity guarantees consistent performance, reducing variability in experimental results. With a boiling point of 117.7°C and miscibility in most organic solvents, it serves as a reliable intermediate in esterification reactions and as a mobile phase modifier in HPLC. Proper storage in tightly sealed containers away from ignition sources ensures long-term stability. This product adheres to stringent quality standards, providing researchers with a dependable reagent for reproducible outcomes.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of n-Butanol 99.9% GC when stored properly?

When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, n-Butanol 99.9% GC typically retains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Can this grade of n-Butanol be used in HPLC applications?

Yes, the 99.9% GC purity makes it suitable for HPLC as a mobile phase modifier or solvent, provided it is filtered and degassed before use.

3. Is n-Butanol compatible with plastic containers for storage?

While short-term storage in HDPE or PTFE containers is acceptable, prolonged storage should use glass containers to prevent potential leaching or contamination.

4. What safety precautions should be taken while handling n-Butanol?

Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhalation or skin contact, as it is flammable and may cause irritation.

5. Are there any alternatives to n-Butanol for solvent extraction?

Alternatives like isopropanol or ethanol may be used depending on the polarity requirements, but n-Butanol is preferred for its balanced solvent properties in specific applications.
