High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Eicosane, also known as icosane, is an alkane with the chemical formula C₂₀H₄₂. It appears as colorless, waxy crystals and is odorless. Eicosane has a melting point of 36 to 38°C and a boiling point of 343.1°C.

Eicosane's non-polar nature makes it nearly unreactive except under combustion conditions. It is insoluble in water and less dense than water. Its phase transition properties make it a candidate for phase change materials (PCMs) used in thermal energy storage.

Uses

Eicosane is primarily used in the manufacture of paraffin waxes, which are utilized in candle production. Due to its high flash point, it is not widely used in the petrochemical industry as a fuel.

Additionally, eicosane can be detected in the body odor of individuals with Parkinson's disease, which has potential diagnostic applications.

Regulatory

Our eicosane reference materials comply with international quality standards and are essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.

Monitoring

Accurate monitoring of eicosane residues in food and environmental samples is crucial for maintaining safety standards. Our high-purity reference materials provide reliable benchmarks for such analyses.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Eicosane is considered to be of low toxicity to humans due to its chemical inactivity and non-polar nature. However, it should still be handled with appropriate safety measures to avoid unnecessary exposure.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Due to its low reactivity and insolubility in water, eicosane is not expected to pose significant risks to wildlife. However, its presence in the environment should still be monitored to ensure ecological safety.

Safety Measures

When handling eicosane, standard safety precautions should be followed, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses. Ensure good ventilation and avoid inhalation of any dust or fumes.

Regulation

Our eicosane reference materials are tested according to stringent international quality requirements, ensuring they meet the highest industrial standards for accuracy and reliability in residue analysis.
