Product Name – 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane, 99%, for spectroscopy Quantity/Pack Size – 2.5LT, 500ML Form – Liquid Grade – Spectroscopy Grade (99%) Application – UV/Vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy

Product Overview

2,2,4-Trimethylpentane, also known as iso-octane, is a high-purity aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent specifically refined for spectroscopy applications. With a minimum purity of 99%, this solvent is meticulously processed to eliminate impurities that could interfere with spectral analysis, ensuring consistent and reliable results. Its low UV absorbance and excellent transparency in the UV-Vis range make it ideal for use as a reference solvent or calibration standard. The solvent’s chemical stability and resistance to oxidation further enhance its suitability for long-term storage and repeated use in laboratory settings. The narrow boiling point range of 98-99°C allows for precise control during evaporation and sample preparation. This spectroscopy-grade 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane is free from fluorescent contaminants, water, and other interfering substances, making it a preferred choice for researchers and analysts who demand accuracy in their spectral measurements.
