FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Pyridine 99.8% in AcroSeal® packaging?

The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

2. Is this Pyridine suitable for use as a solvent in HPLC applications?

While Pyridine is commonly used as a solvent, its suitability for HPLC depends on the specific method and compatibility with the stationary phase. Always verify with your protocol.

3. Can this Pyridine be used as a substitute for other organic bases in synthesis?

Yes, Pyridine can replace other organic bases like triethylamine in certain reactions, but adjustments to reaction conditions may be required due to differences in basicity and nucleophilicity.

4. How should Pyridine be stored to maintain its purity?

Store Pyridine in a tightly sealed AcroSeal® container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from oxidizing agents and heat sources.

5. What precautions should be taken when handling Pyridine?

Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Handle in a fume hood to avoid inhalation, and avoid contact with skin and eyes.
