General description

EMSURE grade solvents are suitable for a broad spectrum of classical lab applications, and are frequently used in regulated and highly demanding lab applications. EMSURE provides worldwide best and most extensive product specifications. We declare our EMSURE range to be in compliance with the ACS, with the reagent part of the European Pharmacopoeia (Reag. Ph Eur) and also with the ISO standards.

Application


  • Synthesis and Properties of 1,11,15,25-Tetrahydroxy-4,8,18,22-Di (Bridged Dipropionate Carboxyl) Phthalocyanine Copper: This study highlights the application of n-amyl alcohol in the synthesis of complex organic compounds, demonstrating its effectiveness in facilitating high-precision chemical reactions essential for the development of novel materials and pharmaceuticals (Xia et al., 2015).

  • Cr(III)/Cr(VI) speciation determination of chromium in water samples by luminescence quenching of quercetin: This study utilizes n-amyl alcohol for environmental monitoring, specifically for the detection and differentiation of chromium species in water, illustrating its importance in environmental safety and compliance (Hosseini and Belador, 2009).

  • Application of headspace solvent microextraction to the analysis of mononitrotoluenes in waste water samples: The use of n-amyl alcohol in sample preparation for pollutant analysis in wastewater highlights its critical role in environmental testing protocols, providing effective and efficient extraction methods (Ebrahimzadeh et al., 2007).

  • Solvothermal preparation and gas sensing properties of ZnO whiskers: This article discusses the use of n-amyl alcohol in the solvothermal synthesis of zinc oxide whiskers, underlining its utility in the fabrication of sensors that are crucial for environmental monitoring and material science research (Jiaqiang et al., 2006).
