General description

EMPARTA solvents are designed for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning in quality control environments. Engineered for precision, they deliver consistently reproducible results essential for rigorous validation and documentation.

Exceptional Quality Standards: These solvents meet or exceed ACS specifications, providing assurance of high quality that is crucial for accurate testing and analysis in quality control.

Consistent Reproducibility: Designed for precision, the solvents ensure that results can be reliably reproduced, which is vital for maintaining compliance and integrity in quality control processes.

Versatile Applications: Suitable for a variety of QC tasks, including analytical testing, method validation, and testing USP/NF monographs, these solvents support a comprehensive approach to quality assurance in laboratory settings.

Application

Isopropyl Alcohol can be used as:
  • A ‘green′ reaction solvent for the preparation of high molecular weight, high strength cycloaliphatic diisocyanate based silicone-urea copolymers.[1]
  • A granulating agent to determine the endpoint for microcrystalline cellulose (MCC-102) using the powder rheometer and thermal analysis.[2]
  • An extraction solvent for the extraction of oil from microalgae that have high polar lipid content.[3]
  • A solvent in the dehydration and paraffinization of tissues.[4]

Packaging

M-Bottle for Solvents
As a global leader in lab reagents, we are constantly looking for new ways to optimize the safety of our products. The newly developed 4L solvent bottle design features advanced sealing technology that eliminates leaks to make the handling of solvents safer and more convenient than ever before.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
