Description
Methanol, anhydrous is a Reag. Ph. Eur. chemical reagent for Chapter 4.1.1 (1053400), with CAS number 67-56-1 and the empirical formula CH₃OH. Key scientific data include a molar mass of 32,04 g/mol, a density of 0,79 g/cm³, a flash point of 9,7 °C and a boiling point of 65 °C. The pack size is 1 l in glass, a 1 liter unit from manufacturer Carl ROTH. This anhydrous methanol is identified as Reag. Ph. Eur., Chapter 4.1.1, 1053400, which places it among the reagents defined by the European Pharmacopoeia for Chapter 4.1.1. Density 0,79 g/cm³ and molar mass 32,04 g/mol describe the CH₃OH molecule, while the boiling point of 65 °C and the flash point of 9,7 °C characterise its volatility. Substance codes CAS number 67-56-1, EG nr. 200-659-6 and UN number 1230 are given for the same methanol grade. Laboratories can therefore specify anhydrous methanol, Reag. Ph. Eur., Chapter 4.1.1, 1053400, in a 1 l glass bottle using the CAS number, empirical formula CH₃OH and the listed physical constants.

Questions about Methanol, anhydrous, Reag. Ph. Eur.
What is this article?
Methanol, anhydrous, Reag. Ph. Eur. is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
