Glycerin (Glycerol), Reagent Grade
Manufacturer: LabChem Inc.
Description
Optimized for consistent composition and reproducible results across industrial and environmental laboratory workflows.
Features:
- Manufactured to minimize trace contaminants, ensuring it does not interfere with sensitive analytical procedures or spectroscopic readings
- Widely used as a component in mounting media to preserve the optical clarity and structural integrity of tissue sections
- Ideal for use in automated liquid handling systems or as a base for specialized chemical formulations
- High boiling point (290°C) makes it an excellent medium for laboratory heating baths and as a sealant for gas-tight connections
Safety & Regulatory Information:
WARNING! Hygroscopic Material: Glycerin readily absorbs moisture from the air.
- Storage: Store at room temperature in a tightly closed, original container. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents like potassium permanganate or nitric acid to avoid violent reactions.
- Personal Protection: Wear nitrile gloves, safety glasses, and a lab coat. While Glycerin is generally recognized as safe, it can cause mild irritation to the skin and eyes.
- Handling: Ensure proper ventilation. Due to its high viscosity, handle with care when pouring to prevent spills on laboratory surfaces.
