Product Overview

n-Butyl Acetate 99.9% GC-HS is a high-purity solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications. This grade ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for gas chromatography and sensitive analytical procedures. The compound exhibits a clear, colorless appearance with a characteristic fruity odor, offering excellent solvency for resins, polymers, and organic compounds. Its low water content (<0.05%) prevents interference in moisture-sensitive reactions, while the high evaporation rate facilitates rapid sample preparation. The GC-HS specification guarantees consistent performance in trace analysis, where even minor contaminants could compromise results. Packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, this reagent maintains stability during storage and transport. The 99.9% purity level meets international standards for research-grade solvents, ensuring reliable baseline performance in chromatographic separations. Its balanced polarity makes it compatible with both polar and non-polar analytes, providing versatility across different analytical workflows.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of n-Butyl Acetate 99.9% GC-HS when stored properly?

When stored in tightly sealed original containers at room temperature away from direct sunlight, this product maintains its specified purity for 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Can this grade be used for HPLC applications?

While optimized for GC applications, the high purity makes it suitable for some HPLC uses, though dedicated HPLC-grade solvents are generally preferred for that technique.

3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?

Use in a well-ventilated area with proper PPE including gloves and safety goggles. Avoid inhalation of vapors and skin contact as it may cause irritation.

4. How does the GC-HS grade differ from regular laboratory grade?

The GC-HS grade undergoes additional purification steps to remove trace impurities that could interfere with sensitive gas chromatography detection, particularly in headspace analysis.

5. What is the typical evaporation rate compared to other common solvents?

n-Butyl Acetate evaporates faster than water but slower than acetone or ethanol, with an evaporation rate approximately 1.5 times that of butyl alcohol under standard conditions.
