Product Overview
n-Pentane Reference Standard is a high-purity solvent designed for precise analytical applications, particularly in gas chromatography (GC) and calibration procedures. With a minimum purity of 99%, this reference-grade chemical ensures accurate and reproducible results in laboratory settings. Its low boiling point (36°C) and non-polar nature make it an excellent choice for separating and identifying volatile compounds. The standard is rigorously tested to meet strict quality control measures, guaranteeing consistency across batches. Packaged in an airtight, amber glass bottle, it minimizes degradation from light exposure, preserving its integrity during storage. This product is free from impurities such as water, acids, or other hydrocarbons, ensuring interference-free analysis. Whether used as a retention time marker or for method validation, this n-Pentane standard delivers reliable performance for critical lab workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of n-Pentane Reference Standard?
The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
2. Is this product compatible with standard GC columns?
Yes, it is fully compatible with most non-polar and slightly polar GC columns, including common stationary phases like PDMS or 5% phenyl-methylpolysiloxane.
3. Are there any alternatives to n-Pentane for GC calibration?
Alternatives include n-Hexane or n-Heptane, but they have different boiling points and retention times, which may require method adjustments.
4. How should I store this reference standard to maintain its purity?
Store the bottle tightly sealed at room temperature (15-25°C) in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources and incompatible chemicals.
5. Is this product sourced from a certified manufacturer?
Yes, it is sourced from ISO-certified manufacturers and undergoes third-party testing to verify purity and compliance with international standards.
