Methanol ≥99.8% ACS Reagent/USP/NF Grade

Methanol also known as Methyl Alcohol, Wood Alcohol, and Wood spirit is a volatile, colorless liquid at room temperature. It is the simplest member of the Alcohol family having a single carbon group. At room temperature, it appears as a colorless, volatile liquid with an alcohol-like odor. This product it suitable for food, medicines, biological drug substances, dosage forms, compounded preparations, medical devices, and dietary supplements.

LC-MS Grade Methanol

LC-MS Grade Methanol (> 99.9%) sold by Lab Alley online is a high purity solvent with very low metals content. Buy LC-MS Grade Methanol for liquid chromatography?mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. Typical solvents utilized in LC-MS include water, acetonitrile, methanol, isopropanol or n-propanol.

Methanol With 3A Molecular Sieves

Type 3A molecular sieves are drying agents used to dry methanol. A molecular sieve is a material with pores of uniform size. A Type 3A molecular sieve has a pore size of 3A or 3 angstrom. Any molecule larger than 3A will not be able to be adsorbed.

Buy Methanol For Plant Extraction

Methanol is a good solvent to use to extract and identify the constituents of plants due to its polarity. It can extract both lipophilic and hydrophilic molecules or substances.

Methanol For Botanical Extraction, Processing, Refining, Analysis, Testing

High purity methanol sold by Lab Alley is used by botanical processing facilities in the United States as an efficient extraction solvent. Methanol is one of the most efficient extraction solvents for determining the potency of medical solutions. Methanol is also used by botanical processing facilities and farms in the USA. Many growers consider methanol to be an ideal solvent for herbal oil extraction. Mixtures of chloroform and methanol are used to analyze plant matter.

Properties:

Methanol is the simplest alcohol: one methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group. At room temperature, methanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a distinct odor similar to ethanol, but is highly toxic when ingested by humans. It has a boiling point of 64.7 ?C, molar mass of 32.04 g mol?1, and a melting point of ?97.6 ?C. Methanol has a density of 0.792 g/cm?. Lab Alley sells ACS Reagent Grade (?99.8%) Methanol.

Uses:

Methanol is used to remove and extract terpenes, tannins, alkaloids, glycosides, lignans, terpinoids from plants. It is used to extract bio-active, phenolic and polar compounds from medicinal plants. Methanol is easily evaporated. Methanol is a high purity solvent. Methanol is used to manufacture herbal solutions. Methanol is used in research and testing laboratories for phytochemical study, phytochemical analysis and chemical synthesis. Methanol is used to prepare methanol/water/acetic acid mixtures.

Methanol is a popular chemical precursor to other commodity chemicals and methylamines, converted into chemicals such as formaldehyde or acetic acid. It is used a gasoline additive in biodiesel, as well as in water methanol injections in high performance engines. Methanol often the key ingredient in denatured ethanol solutions, as its toxicity makes it dangerously inedible by humans. Methanol is also a component in antifreeze solutions given its low freezing point, and is a chemical additive in the destructive distillation of wood.
