Product Overview

2-Methoxyethanol 99.5% AR/ACS (CAS No. 109-86-4) is an analytical-reagent glycol ether possessing a primary alcohol and an ether group within the same molecule. Its complete compatibility with many aqueous and organic systems enables use as an analytical solvent where both polar and moderately non-polar species must be handled in a homogeneous phase.

The AR/ACS grade is intended for conventional analytical reagent preparation, extraction, dilution and physicochemical method development. It is suitable for preparing analytical solutions, investigating partition or mixed-solvent effects and supporting non-chromatographic procedures where controlled glycol-ether reagent quality is required.

Typical Applications

• Preparation of analytical reagent solutions
• Extraction and dilution of compatible analytes
• Mixed-solvent analytical systems
• Solvent-property and partition studies
• Preparation of non-certified working solutions
• Analytical derivatisation research
• Laboratory quality-control reagent preparation

Common Synonyms

• Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether
• Methyl Cellosolve
• Methyl glycol
• 2-Methoxyethyl alcohol
• Ethanol, 2-methoxy-

Storage Conditions

Store tightly closed and protect from moisture, evaporation and analytical contamination. Minimise prolonged air exposure and use clean transfer equipment where reproducible solvent background is important.
