Oktanol-1
Oktanol-1 (Product Code: SCI-661/289) is 1-octanol (octan-1-ol), an analytical reagent grade eight-carbon primary alcohol used for octanol-water partition experiments and alcohol property comparisons in chemistry, pharmacy and biology laboratories. “Oktanol-1” is a transliterated catalogue spelling of octanol-1, and this listing is a 100 ml pack supplied with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India for colleges and research groups.

What Is Oktanol-1 (1-Octanol) Used For?
1-Octanol is the standard organic phase for measuring partition coefficients. A solute such as a dye, a drug or iodine is shaken with octanol and water in a separating funnel, the layers are allowed to settle, and the concentration in each layer is compared. The resulting octanol-water ratio, usually quoted as log P, is widely used in pharmacy and biology to predict how readily a substance crosses cell membranes.
In organic chemistry teaching, octanol sits at the long-chain end of the alcohol homologous series: comparing it with ethanol shows how solubility in water falls and boiling point rises as the carbon chain grows. The liquid is only slightly soluble in water, is combustible and irritates the eyes, so keep it away from flames, wear goggles and store the bottle tightly closed.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Oktanol-1 in 100 ml analytical reagent packs to pharmacy colleges, university chemistry departments, research laboratories and dealers. The MSDS accompanies every pack, and the company can quote it together with separating funnels and other alcohols for partition or homologous series practicals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Oktanol-1?
Oktanol-1 is the catalogue name for 1-octanol (octan-1-ol), a straight-chain primary alcohol with eight carbon atoms. This listing is an analytical reagent grade liquid in a 100 ml pack supplied with an MSDS, used in partition coefficient and alcohol property experiments.
What is Oktanol-1 used for in pharmacy and biology labs?
Oktanol-1 is used as the organic layer in octanol-water partition experiments, which estimate how fat-soluble a drug, dye or other compound is. The resulting partition coefficient helps students understand absorption and membrane permeability in pharmacology and biology.
Does Oktanol-1 mix with water?
Oktanol-1 is only slightly soluble in water and, being less dense, forms a separate upper layer. This two-layer behaviour is exactly what makes Oktanol-1 useful for partition experiments carried out in a separating funnel.
What safety precautions apply to Oktanol-1?
Oktanol-1 is a combustible liquid that irritates the eyes and is harmful to aquatic life. Use it away from open flames, wear safety goggles and gloves, do not pour it down the drain and follow the MSDS supplied with the 100 ml pack.
How should Oktanol-1 be stored?
Store Oktanol-1 tightly capped in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, sparks and oxidising agents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Oktanol-1 SCI-661/289?
Oktanol-1 SCI-661/289 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as 100 ml analytical reagent packs with MSDS, to pharmacy and science colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets.
