General description

EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

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).

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.
