Overview:
Honeywell’s Burdick & Jackson™ Pentane (SKU 312) is a high-purity n-pentane solvent, ideal for chromatography and other trace-level analytical applications. With >99.9% total C5 isomers and extremely low levels of UV-absorbing impurities, it meets the highest standards for reproducibility in GC, HPLC, and pesticide residue testing.
Key Features:
• High purity: n-Pentane ≥98%, total C5 isomers >99.9%
• Electron-capture GC impurities: ≤10 ng/L
• UV transparency: cutoff ≤190 nm
• Low non-volatile residue: ≤1 mg/L
• Water content (Karl Fischer): ≤0.01%
• Flame ionization GC impurities: ≤1 ppb
• Meets or exceeds typical pesticide residue and GC trace analysis standards
Typical Applications:
• Gas Chromatography (GC)
• High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
• Pesticide residue analysis
• UV spectroscopy
• Sample preparation requiring low-residue solvents
