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


  • Characterization and comparison of flavors in fresh and aged fermented peppers: Impact of different varieties: 1-Butanol is used in the analytical methods for evaluating flavor profiles in food research, highlighting its significance in food chemistry and quality control (Liu M et al., 2024).

  • Controlling soft rot of green pepper by bacteriocin paracin wx3 and its effect on storage quality of green pepper: The study incorporates 1-Butanol in methodologies to examine the preservation and quality of green peppers, indicating its application in post-harvest technology and plant pathology (Yi L et al., 2024).

  • Pathway toward Scalable Energy-Efficient Li-Mediated Ammonia Synthesis: This research utilizes 1-Butanol in processes related to energy-efficient synthesis technologies, underlining its potential in sustainable industrial applications (Kani NC et al., 2024).
