N-Ethylmorpholine is a component of the buffer used in basic peptide separation through anion-exchange chromatography. Further, it acts as a catalyst in the preparation of polyurethane foam.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
