Methanol Extra Pure
$ 30.35 Original price was: $ 30.35.$ 30.23Current price is: $ 30.23.
Methanol Extra Pure is a clear, colorless, and highly volatile liquid with a mild alcohol-like odor, refined to an exceptional level of purity. It is widely used as a solvent in laboratories and industrial settings due to its excellent miscibility with water and many organic compounds. Methanol serves as a key reagent in chemical synthesis, particularly in the production of formaldehyde, methyl esters, and biodiesel. In analytical chemistry, it’s used for chromatography and spectroscopic applications where high purity is essential. Its rapid evaporation rate and strong solvency make it ideal for cleaning delicate equipment and preparing lab samples.
Methanol Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Solvent in Chemical Reactions:
- Widely used as a polar protic solvent in organic synthesis and chromatographic analysis due to its excellent miscibility with water and organic solvents.
- Sample Preparation & Extraction:
- Commonly applied in extraction, dilution, and dissolution of analytes in spectroscopy, HPLC, and GC methods.
- Reagent in Organic Synthesis:
- Acts as a methylating agent or starting material in producing esters, formaldehyde, and other organic compounds.
Secondary Uses
- Fuel for Spirit Lamps & Calorimetry:
- Used as a clean-burning fuel for lab burners, calorimeters, and flame tests.
- Preservative for Biological Samples:
- Sometimes used for tissue preservation and fixation in histology and microbiology.
