1-Octanol is a synthetic reagent used to produce esters. It inhibits T-type calcium channels and is used to determine the partition coefficient between compounds and the cytosol. It is used to evaluate the lipophilicity of pharmaceutical products. It is also used as a solvent for protective coatings, waxes, and oils, and as a raw material for plasticizers.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
