General

Iso-octane, also known as 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, is a highly pure and high-quality organic compound that is commonly used in High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) applications. This compound is produced with the highest degree of purity, ensuring that it is free from impurities that can interfere with HPLC analysis.

Iso-octane is a clear and colourless liquid that is highly volatile and has a low boiling point. It is chemically stable and is not reactive with other compounds, making it an excellent solvent for use in HPLC separations. This compound is prepared and packaged under strict quality control measures to ensure that it meets the required standards for HPLC applications.

Iso-octane is commonly used as a mobile phase solvent in reverse-phase HPLC separations, where it helps to improve the separation of nonpolar analytes. It is also used as a reference standard for gas chromatography and as a component of calibration solutions for mass spectrometry. Other applications of iso-octane include as a fuel additive, a solvent for industrial processes, and as a component in the production of synthetic rubber.
