About Ethanol

Ethanol (CAS 64-17-5) is a high-purity reference standard of Alcohol offered by Vaqora Chemicals. With the molecular formula C2H6O, it has a molar mass of 46.07 g/mol. It is also known as Ethyl Alcohol or Alcohol Determination--Alcohol.

The product is provided as a solid. Keep the vial tightly closed, protected from light and humidity, at the temperature stated on the Certificate of Analysis. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

As a reference sample of Alcohol, it is used for identification, assay and impurity-profiling work during analytical method development, validation (AMV) and routine QC. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
