General description

Graphite is a versatile material with high thermal conductivity, excellent electrical conductivity, and remarkable lubricating capabilities. In the electronics sector, graphite is utilized in batteries and fuel cells due to its ability to enhance performance and energy efficiency. Additionally, the automotive industry graphite is used in brake linings and lubricants, while the aerospace sector benefits from its lightweight and high-temperature resistance.

Application


  • Synthetic opioid analgesic: MethaDoneserves as a synthetic opioid analgesic in clinical settings, offering pain relief options for patients who are resistant to other opioids. Studies examine its analgesic properties and side effects to enhance patient safety and comfort (Hughes et al., 2024).

  • In vitro pharmacological studies: In vitro studies utilize methaDonesolutions to investigate its pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. These studies help determine how methaDoneinteracts with various biological systems, influencing future drug design and therapy approaches (Degani et al., 2023).

  • Drug metabolism research: MethaDoneis used in research to study drug metabolism, particularly how it is processed within the body. This research is vital for understanding drug interactions, effects on liver enzymes, and implications for long-term treatment efficacy (Hu et al., 2023).

Graphite, the most stable form of elemental carbon, consists of pure carbon sheets stacked upon one another like reams of paper. Individual sheets, known as graphene, prefer planar geometries as a consequence of the hexagonal honeycomb-like arrangements of trigonal carbon

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
