Isooctane GC

Isooctane (540-84-1) MF: C8H18 | MW: 114.23, Buy now for consistent and accurate results from Bluster. All Bluster Products are exclusively distributed by Dawn Scientific Inc.

Isooctane GC is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid that closely resembles gasoline. Isooctane is an isomer of octane and is made up of pentane with two methyl groups at position 2 and one methyl group at position 4. It is not soluble in water and its chemical formula is C8H18. Isooctane has a high vapor pressure, which means it readily evaporates at room temperature. It is also commonly known as 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. GC grade isooctane is a highly pure variant specifically formulated for gas chromatography (GC) applications.

Bluster offers proprietary products specifically designed to suit the needs of GC and GC-Headspace methods. In order to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio in critical retention time windows, Bluster products are systematically validated for ECD, FID, and MS detection. The Bluster series headspace solvents are specially developed for gas chromatography and are tailored for the determination of residual solvents in pharmaceuticals and excipients, as well as pesticide residue analysis according to Ph. Eur., USP, and EPA. Solvent manufacturing for Bluster is based on a new and unique design of an ultra-pure solvent production head which assures the highest solvent purity. All of this ensures that all results from all analyses are accurate, reliable, and highly reproducible
