N-Nitrosodipropylamine (1mg/1ml in methanol)

N-Nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA) is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of nitrosamines. Nitrosamines are known to be carcinogenic and can cause cancer in humans. NDPA is primarily used as a reagent in organic synthesis to form C-Nitroso compounds. It is also used as a solvent in the manufacturing of rubber and plastic products. NDPA is a clear, colorless liquid that is soluble in water, ethanol, and methanol. It has a boiling point of 172-173°C and a melting point of -55°C. NDPA is highly flammable and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. The chemical formula for NDPA is C9H20N2O, and its molecular weight is 172.27 g/mol. It is a potent mutagen and genotoxic agent, which means that it can damage DNA and cause mutations in cells. This makes it extremely hazardous to handle and requires proper protective equipment and handling procedures. NDPA is typically sold as a 1mg/1ml solution in methanol. This concentration is commonly used in research laboratories for various applications such as DNA damage studies and in the development of anti-cancer drugs. However, due to its carcinogenic properties, NDPA is strictly regulated and requires proper licensing and precautions for handling and disposal.
