About Isoamyl Alcohol Lab Grade

Isoamyl Alcohol, commonly known as Isopentanol or 3-methyl-butan-1-ol, is a colorless liquid with the formula C5H12O. It is one of many isomers of pentyl alcohol and was previously known as isobutyl carbinol. It is a common fusel alcohol produced as a by-product of ethanol production.

Lab Grade is also known as Laboratory Reagent (LR) and Chemically Pure (CP). Lab grade chemicals possess reasonable purity but do not comply with any official standards for quality or purity like the ACS Grade, the USP Grade, or the FCC Grade.

Lab Alley’s premium grade Isoamyl Alcohol, Lab Grade is highly recommended for educational institutes and research laboratories.
