FAQs
What’s the difference between 1-Propanol and isopropanol?
While both are alcohols, 1-Propanol (n-propyl alcohol) has a linear structure, making it slightly less polar than isopropanol. This affects its solvent properties and evaporation rate. For most lab applications, 1-Propanol offers better performance as a chromatography solvent.
Can I use this for DNA extraction?
Absolutely. The high purity of this AR grade propanol makes it excellent for nucleic acid precipitation protocols. Many molecular biology labs prefer it over ethanol for certain extraction methods due to its different solubility properties.
What’s the shelf life of this product?
When stored properly in sealed containers away from moisture and light, this propanol maintains its specifications for at least 2 years. Always check the certificate of analysis for the specific batch expiration date.
Is this suitable for HPLC applications?
Yes, the 99.5% purity and low UV absorbance make it appropriate for many HPLC applications. However, for ultra-sensitive work, you might want to consider HPLC-grade solvents which undergo additional purification steps.
How should I store opened containers?
Transfer to a smaller, airtight container if you’ve opened a large pack. Use amber glass bottles if possible to prevent light degradation. Always label with the date opened and store in your flammable liquids cabinet.
