The distinctive smell is caused by the presence of triethylamine. Even a small amount of TMA, slightly above 50 ppb, can give the entire product its characteristic odor. Despite the odor, the product can still be used.

General description
Methanol is an organic solvent that can be synthesized from syngas in the presence of CuO/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts.[1] It is an ideal candidate as a hydrogen source in fuel cell technology due to its high H/C ratio, low propensity for soot generation, relatively low reforming temperature and as it exists in liquid state at room temperature.[2][3] In a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), methanol undergoes oxidation with air to generate electricity. The olefins (ethylene or propylene) formed from methanol via MTO (methanol-to-olefins) process, can be an alternate to oil and gas to produce hydrocarbon fuels.[4]
Application
Methanol (MeOH) has been used in the wholemount immunofluorescence studies of embryonic tissues.[7]
It may be used in the following studies:
It may be used in the following studies:
- Colony forming unit-fibroblast assay of bone marrow mononuclear cells.[8]
- As solvent for the preparation of extracts of hyphae of Aspergillus for the estimation of gliotoxin by reversed phase-HPLC.[9]
- Immunofluorescence studies.[10]
- To compose the eluent for the ion-pair reverse-phase HPLC isolation of nucleotides and their decomposition products.[11]
Methanol can be used as a mobile phase in reversed-phase liquid chromatography.[12]

Why on occasion does Product 34860, Methanol, have an unusual odor? Does it affect the product purity or performance?
1 answer-
Industry research has indicated that unusual odors in methanol are a common problem and stem from low - level mercaptans and / or amines found in the natural gas raw materials used in production. Odors from these types of compounds can be noticeable at low part per million (ppm) levels and have not been shown to have any negative impact on product performance at these concentrations.

Can you recommend a Solvent Extractor for organics from aqueous solution?
1 answer-
Solvent extractors are often used for the quantitative extraction of organics from aqueous solutions and separations in immunoassays. The MIXXOR system has been applied successfully in many laboratory solvent extraction operations and is ideal for the rapid screening of alternative solvents for specific extraction problems.
