Product Description
When precision matters in your lab work, the quality of your solvents can make all the difference. Isooctane for liquid chromatography from Merck is a high-purity solvent designed specifically for HPLC and other analytical applications. Whether you’re a student setting up your first experiment or a researcher refining your methods, this HPLC-grade isooctane ensures reliable results every time.
Isooctane, also known as 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, is a branched-chain alkane that serves as an excellent non-polar solvent in chromatography. Its low UV absorbance and high purity make it ideal for sensitive analytical techniques where even minor impurities can skew results. The Lichrosolv® quality from Merck guarantees consistent performance, so you can focus on your research without worrying about solvent variability.
For laboratories across India, finding the right HPLC-grade solvents can be challenging. Many suppliers offer generic options, but eqipped brings you Merck’s trusted quality with the convenience of online ordering. Whether you’re working on pharmaceutical analysis, environmental testing, or academic research, this isooctane solvent delivers the purity and consistency your work demands.
Upgrade your chromatography setup with Merck’s HPLC-grade isooctane. Order online today and experience the difference quality solvents make in your results.
The 1-liter pack size is perfect for regular lab use, giving you enough volume for multiple experiments without taking up excessive storage space. Its sealed packaging ensures the solvent remains uncontaminated until you’re ready to use it, maintaining the high purity standards required for chromatography applications.
Remember that while isooctane is relatively safe compared to many lab solvents, it’s still a flammable liquid. Always handle it in a well-ventilated area, away from open flames or ignition sources. Store it properly in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed when not in use.
FAQs
What makes HPLC-grade isooctane different from regular isooctane?
HPLC-grade isooctane undergoes additional purification processes to remove impurities that could interfere with chromatographic analysis. It has lower UV absorbance and fewer residual contaminants compared to technical or reagent grades, making it ideal for sensitive analytical applications.
Can I use this isooctane for GC as well as HPLC?
While primarily designed for liquid chromatography, this high-purity isooctane can also be used in gas chromatography applications. Its low impurity profile makes it suitable for various chromatographic techniques where solvent purity is critical.
How should I store isooctane to maintain its quality?
Store isooctane in its original tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Keep it in a well-ventilated area and ensure the container is properly labeled to prevent accidental misuse.
What safety precautions should I take when handling isooctane?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and safety goggles. Work in a fume hood or well-ventilated area as vapors can be harmful. Keep away from open flames and static electricity sources as isooctane is highly flammable.
How quickly can I receive my order of isooctane from eqipped?
Delivery times vary by location, but most orders are processed within 1-2 business days. Major cities typically receive their orders within 3-5 business days, while remote areas may take slightly longer. You’ll receive tracking information once your order ships.
