Product Overview
Pentane HPLC is a high-purity solvent specifically designed for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and other analytical applications requiring ultra-low UV absorbance and minimal impurities. This grade ensures consistent, reliable results by eliminating interference from residual contaminants, making it indispensable for sensitive laboratory procedures. The solvent undergoes rigorous purification processes to meet stringent HPLC standards, guaranteeing ≥99% purity with negligible water content. Its low viscosity and volatility facilitate efficient sample preparation and separation, while its chemical stability ensures long-term storage without degradation. Compatible with most HPLC systems, this Pentane variant is packaged in 4 L containers for convenience in high-throughput labs. The solvent’s non-polar nature makes it particularly effective for separating non-polar compounds, while its narrow boiling range (34-36°C) ensures precise elution profiles. Whether used as a mobile phase component or for sample dilution, this HPLC-grade Pentane delivers reproducibility and accuracy, critical for quantitative analysis in research and quality control environments.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Pentane HPLC when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and ignition sources, Pentane HPLC maintains its purity and performance for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
2. Can this Pentane be used with GC-MS applications?
While primarily formulated for HPLC, this high-purity Pentane can also be used in GC-MS applications, provided the system is compatible with its volatility and non-polar characteristics. Ensure the instrument’s detection limits align with the solvent’s residual impurity profile.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling Pentane HPLC?
Pentane is highly flammable and should be handled in a well-ventilated fume hood, away from open flames, sparks, or heat sources. Use appropriate PPE, including nitrile gloves and safety goggles, and avoid inhalation by working in a controlled environment.
4. Is this Pentane suitable for residue analysis in food testing?
Yes, the HPLC-grade purity makes it suitable for residue analysis in food testing, as it minimizes background interference. However, always validate the method with your specific matrix to ensure compatibility and accuracy.
5. How does the purity of this Pentane compare to ACS-grade Pentane?
HPLC-grade Pentane undergoes additional purification steps to remove UV-absorbing impurities, making it superior to ACS-grade for chromatographic applications. ACS-grade may contain trace contaminants that could interfere with sensitive detectors, whereas HPLC-grade is optimized for baseline stability.
