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


  • Elucidating and Tuning Catalytic Sites on Zirconium- and Aluminum-Containing Nodes: Investigates the application of tert-butanol in the tuning of catalytic sites within metal-organic frameworks, essential for advancements in material science and catalysis (Yang & Gates, 2021).

  • Photocatalytic mechanism and performance of a novel wool flake-BiFeO3nanosheet-TiO2 core-shell-structured composite photocatalyst: Describes how tert-butanol acts as a solvent in the synthesis of complex photocatalysts, enhancing their efficiency in environmental cleanup applications (Chen et al., 2021).

  • Effect of cross-linked enzyme aggregate strategy on characterization of sn-1,3 extracellular lipase: Demonstrates the role of tert-butanol in enzyme immobilization techniques to improve the stability and activity of lipases, vital for biotechnological applications (Zhu et al., 2021).
