Quantity/Pack Size – 100ML
Form – Liquid
Grade – Reference Standard (GC/HPLC Grade)
Application – Analytical reference, calibration, chromatography

Product Overview

tert-Butyl alcohol (tert butanol) Reference Standard is a high-purity analytical reagent designed for precise laboratory applications. With a minimum purity of 99.5%, this GC/HPLC-grade solvent ensures accurate calibration and reliable results in chromatographic analysis. Its low water content and minimal impurities make it ideal for use as a reference material in qualitative and quantitative testing. The compound’s stable chemical structure and consistent boiling point (82.4°C) enhance reproducibility in analytical procedures. Packaged in a 100ML amber glass bottle, it is protected from light-induced degradation, ensuring long-term stability. This reference standard is compatible with most organic solvents and can be used directly in gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems without further purification. Its non-hygroscopic nature prevents moisture absorption, maintaining integrity during storage and handling.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of tert-Butyl Alcohol Reference Standard?

The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature in its original packaging.

2. Can this reference standard be used for NMR spectroscopy?

While primarily designed for GC/HPLC applications, it can be used in NMR spectroscopy as a solvent or internal standard, provided proper deuteration is performed if needed.

3. Is this product compatible with plastic containers?

tert-Butyl alcohol may degrade certain plastics over time. For long-term storage, use glass containers to maintain purity.

4. What is the difference between tert-Butyl Alcohol Reference Standard and reagent-grade tert-Butanol?

Reference standards undergo stricter quality control and have certified purity levels, making them suitable for calibration, while reagent-grade products are general-purpose solvents with broader purity tolerances.

5. How should I dispose of unused tert-Butyl Alcohol Reference Standard?

Dispose of according to local chemical waste regulations, typically through incineration or via a licensed hazardous waste disposal service. Never pour down drains.
