Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin)
Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) (Product Code: SCI-558/164) is analytical reagent grade glycerin (propane-1,2,3-triol), a thick, clear liquid used for viscosity experiments, temporary slide mounting and general reagent work in physics, biology and chemistry labs. It is packed in a 250 ml pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, together with the apparatus it is used with.

What Is Glycerin Used For?
Physics classes fill a tall measuring cylinder with glycerin and time a small steel ball as it falls through the liquid; once the ball reaches terminal velocity, the timing gives the viscosity through Stokes' law. Because glycerin's refractive index is close to that of ordinary glass, a glass rod dipped into it seems to vanish, a quick way to show why refraction needs a difference in refractive index.
Biology students use a drop of glycerin to mount temporary preparations that would otherwise dry out under the cover slip, and technicians wipe a thin film on glass tubing before easing it into a rubber stopper. Glycerin draws moisture from the air, so keep the pack closed, and store it apart from strong oxidisers such as potassium permanganate, with which it can ignite.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, sources Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) and supplies it with its MSDS as part of a lab chemicals range that sits alongside the apparatus used with it. Physics, biology and chemistry departments, as well as dealers and importers in India and international markets, can request everything on a single enquiry. Company details: ScienceLab profile.

What pack size is Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin)?
Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) SCI-558/164 is supplied as a 250 ml pack of analytical reagent grade glycerin with an MSDS. Departments that share stock can order separate packs so each laboratory keeps its own clean supply.
Is Propantriol the same as glycerol?
Yes. Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) is propane-1,2,3-triol, the compound also sold as glycerol or glycerine. The listing name is a spelling variant of propanetriol, and product code SCI-558/164 identifies this analytical reagent listing.
How should Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) be stored?
Keep Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) SCI-558/164 tightly closed at room temperature, because it absorbs water from the air, and away from strong 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 Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) SCI-558/164?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) SCI-558/164 to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers. It is a sourced reagent, dispatched with its MSDS and combinable with viscosity apparatus on the same order.
Is there another listing of this glycerin?
Yes. A second listing, Propantriol 1,2,3, (Glycerin), covers the same analytical reagent in a 250 ml pack. Quote whichever product code your purchase records use, and ScienceLab will confirm the batch offered along with its expiry date.
