Ethanol Absolute Lab
Ethanol Absolute Lab (CAS 64-17-5) is a high-purity, anhydrous grade of ethanol, indispensable for demanding laboratory applications.
Description
Ethanol Absolute Lab, with the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number 64-17-5 and chemical formula C2H6O, represents an exceptionally pure, anhydrous form of ethanol. Also known as ethyl alcohol, this product is meticulously processed to achieve a purity level suitable for sensitive laboratory and analytical procedures. Its anhydrous nature, characterized by minimal water content, is critical in applications where the presence of water could interfere with reactions, analyses, or calibrations. It exhibits excellent solvency for a wide range of organic compounds, making it a versatile solvent. As a primary alcohol, it is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. The manufacturing process adheres to stringent quality control standards, ensuring consistency and reliability for research, development, and quality assurance laboratories. This grade is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of scientific experimentation, where traceability and purity are paramount.
Applications
Ethanol Absolute Lab finds extensive application across various scientific disciplines. In microbiology, it is used for sterilization of equipment and preparation of media, acting as a disinfectant and antiseptic. Analytical chemistry laboratories utilize it as a solvent for chromatography (HPLC, GC), spectroscopy, and as a reagent in titrations. In molecular biology, it is crucial for DNA and RNA precipitation and extraction procedures. Organic synthesis relies on it as a reaction solvent or a reagent precursor for various esterifications and other organic transformations. Furthermore, it serves as a cleaning agent for precision instruments and optics, and as a component in histology for tissue processing and dehydration. Its high purity ensures no interference with delicate experiments or analyses.
Storage & Handling
