Product Description
When precision matters in gas chromatography, the choice of solvent can make all the difference. Isooctane Ecd Fid Suprasolv from Merck is engineered for researchers and lab professionals who demand uncompromising purity in their GC-ECD and FID analyses. This 1-liter pack delivers consistent, low-impurity performance, ensuring your results are free from interference.
Whether you’re analyzing pesticides, environmental samples, or petroleum products, this solvent meets the rigorous standards of Suprasolv grade. Its high volatility and stability make it a go-to choice for sensitive detectors, where even trace contaminants can skew data. For labs in India, eqipped ensures you get authentic Merck quality with seamless delivery.

Why This Solvent Stands Out
Not all isooctane is created equal. This Suprasolv variant undergoes stringent purification to remove impurities like aromatics, sulfur, and oxygenated compounds. The result? Cleaner baselines, sharper peaks, and fewer false positives in your chromatograms. It’s the solvent of choice for labs adhering to EPA, ISO, or ASTM methods.
For students and educators, this grade offers a practical way to teach GC principles without compromising on quality. The 1-liter size balances cost-efficiency with sufficient volume for multiple experiments, making it ideal for academic settings.
Applications in Real-World Labs
From environmental testing to food safety, Isooctane Suprasolv finds use in diverse fields:
- Pesticide residue analysis in agricultural samples
- Petroleum hydrocarbon profiling
- Volatile organic compound (VOC) testing
- Forensic and toxicology studies
Its compatibility with both ECD and FID detectors makes it versatile for multi-analyte workflows. Researchers appreciate its ability to dissolve non-polar compounds while maintaining detector sensitivity.
Handling and Storage
To preserve its purity, store this solvent in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always use glass or PTFE-lined containers to prevent contamination. For safety, work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood, as isooctane is highly flammable.
Pro Tip: Before use, check for any particulate matter or discoloration. If you notice any irregularities, contact eqipped’s support team for guidance.
FAQs
What makes Suprasolv grade isooctane better than standard grades?
Suprasolv undergoes additional purification steps to remove trace impurities, making it ideal for sensitive GC detectors like ECD and FID. Standard grades may contain contaminants that interfere with analysis.
Can I use this solvent for HPLC applications?
No, this variant is specifically formulated for gas chromatography. For HPLC, consider Merck’s LiChrosolv or Chromasolv grades available on eqipped.
How should I dispose of unused isooctane?
Follow local regulations for hazardous waste disposal. Never pour down drains or discard with regular trash. Many Indian cities have designated chemical waste collection centers.
Is this product compatible with autosamplers?
Yes, its low viscosity and high purity make it suitable for autosampler use. However, always verify compatibility with your specific instrument’s requirements.
What’s the shelf life of Isooctane Suprasolv?
When stored properly in its original sealed container, it remains stable for up to 2 years. After opening, use within 6 months for optimal performance.
