Nujol Mineral Oil for IR Spectroscopy 2 oz BUCK Scientific High Purity

Description

Product Overview

BUCK Scientific 6109 Nujol Mineral Oil is a premium-grade, high‑purity liquid specifically formulated for infrared (IR) spectroscopy applications. The oil’s low viscosity and excellent optical transparency make it ideal for preparing samples that require a clear, non‑interfering medium. Each bottle contains 2 oz (approximately 57 ml) of oil, providing ample quantity for multiple analyses while maintaining consistent performance across batches. The product is manufactured under strict quality‑control protocols, ensuring that contaminants such as water, particulates, and organic residues are minimized to meet the demanding standards of modern analytical laboratories.

Usage

This mineral oil is intended for use in IR spectroscopic measurements where a non‑reactive, optically clear medium is required. It is commonly employed to mount solid or liquid samples on KBr or CaF₂ windows, to create mull preparations, or to serve as a background medium for transmission and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) techniques. The oil’s low refractive index reduces scattering, allowing for sharper spectral peaks and more accurate identification of functional groups. Laboratories, research institutions, and quality‑control facilities can integrate this oil into routine workflows for polymer analysis, pharmaceutical verification, and material characterization. The 2 oz size is convenient for bench‑top use, minimizing waste while ensuring sufficient supply for repeated experiments.

FAQ

What is the recommended storage condition for Nujol Mineral Oil?

Store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress.

Can this oil be used with ATR accessories?

Yes, the low viscosity and high transparency of Nujol make it suitable for ATR measurements, providing a consistent contact layer that does not obscure spectral features.

Is the oil compatible with polymer sample preparation?

Absolutely. The oil’s inert nature allows it to be used with a variety of polymers without causing chemical reactions, making it ideal for analyzing polymer blends and composites.

How does BUCK Scientific ensure product consistency?

Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing, including viscosity measurement, refractive index verification, and impurity analysis, to guarantee that performance remains consistent across shipments.

What safety precautions should be taken when handling the oil?

While the oil is low‑hazard, it should be handled in a well‑ventilated area. Avoid direct skin contact and wear appropriate protective gloves if prolonged exposure is expected. In case of spillage, clean with absorbent material and dispose of according to local regulations.
