Inhibiting Polymerization: Monitoring the Concentration of TBC in Styrene According to ASTM D4590
8 Sept 2016More than 27 million tons of styrene monomer (C6H5CH=CH2) are produced worldwide each year. The stabilizer 4-tert butylcatechol (TBC) plays a crucial role in preventing premature polymerization during storage and transport of styrene, butadiene, vinyl acetate, and other reactive monomers. In this application note, a Process Analyzer from Metrohm Applikon is used for photometric analyses of TBC in styrene.

Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Fumehoods and Biological Safety CabinetsFume hoods and biological safety cabinets are used to provide personnel, sample and environmental protection by limiting exposure to hazardous materials either by venting or enclosing hazardous sample space. Fume hoods include filtered and ductless fume hoods, general ducted fume hoods, laminar flow cabinets and cabinets for powder weighing. There are three classes of biological safety cabinet, dependent on the level of protection provided. Class I provide personnel and environmental protection, class II provide product, personnel and environmental protection. Class III provide the highest level of protection and are designed for use with high-risk biological agents. Other ventilated workspaces for the laboratory include glove boxes, glove bags, anaerobic and hypoxic workstations. Find the best fume hoods and biological safety cabinets in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Astm MethodsSample StoragePreserving clinical trial samples to the highest standards is a critical component in maximizing the value of present day and future clinical research. Specialized storage and transportation of these tissue, blood and serum samples reduces the risk of them being damaged or lost.Headspace SamplerSynthetic ChemistryPhotometry
