PHENOL
Phenol is a research-grade compound used in advanced pharmaceutical and biochemical studies. Chemical & Pharmacological Characteristics Experimental behavior is governed by solubility, stability, ionization state, and matrix interactions. Proper formulation control is essential. Mechanism of Action No single receptor-driven mechanism is assumed; observed effects are concentration- and context-dependent. It is primarily applied to investigate compound-specific mechanisms, physicochemical behavior, and analytical or formulation-relevant characteristics under controlled laboratory conditions.

Product Description
Chemical & Pharmacological Characteristics
Experimental behavior is governed by solubility, stability, ionization state, and matrix interactions. Proper formulation control is essential.
Mechanism of Action
No single receptor-driven mechanism is assumed; observed effects are concentration- and context-dependent.
Interpretation should include matched controls to separate direct chemical effects from secondary stress responses.

Datasheet
| Molecular Formula | C6H6O |
|---|---|
| Molecular Weight | 94.11 g/mol |
| CAS Number | 108-95-2 |
| Storage Condition | Phenol should be stored in closed containers in an area which is adequate to ensure that airborne phenol concentrations do not exceed 20 mg/cu m. Conditions shall be controlled to prevent overheating and the buildup of pressure in phenol containers. Storage tanks must be electrically grounded and bonded to transfer lines. Transfer and storage systems shall be designed and operated to prevent blockage by condensed phenol. Open flames are prohibited when drums of phenol are heated to melt the contents. The internal pressure will be vented by placing the drums with the bung up and the bung loosened. The bungs shall be tightened prior to moving or handling drums. Drums, carboys, or other containers of phenol shall be closed while being handled or moved. Transfer from such containers shall be done carefully to avoid splashes, spills, or other possible circumstances by which an employee may come in contact with phenol. Bulk storage facilities shall be designed and constructed to contain any leaks or spills. |
