Product Overview

Petroleum Ether 40-60°C For HPLC & UV Spectroscopy (CAS No. 8032-32-4) is a controlled low-boiling petroleum hydrocarbon fraction supplied for liquid chromatography and optical applications. Its highly non-polar character makes it useful in normal-phase and specialised chromatographic systems, while instrumental-grade purification controls solvent-related non-volatile and UV-active background.

The HPLC & UV Spectroscopy grade is intended for chromatographic mobile phases, sample extraction, solvent blanks and compatible UV spectroscopic work. Petroleum ether fractions are documented as liquid-chromatographic solvents is widely selected for analytical procedures requiring reproducibility, consistent performance, and minimal interference in routine laboratory analysis. The combination of chromatographic suitability and compatibility with UV spectroscopic applications makes this grade an excellent choice for modern analytical laboratories employing multiple instrumental techniques.

Typical Applications

• Normal-phase HPLC mobile phases
• HPLC sample extraction and preparation
• Chromatographic solvent blanks
• Liquid-chromatographic method development
• UV spectroscopic dilution of compatible non-polar samples
• Extraction prior to HPLC analysis
• Instrumental solvent-background evaluation

Common Synonyms

• Petroleum ether
• Petroleum benzine
• Ligroin
• Benzine
• Light petroleum

Storage Conditions

Keep tightly closed and protect from evaporation, particulate material, non-volatile residues and UV-active organic contamination. Use clean chromatographic and spectroscopy-compatible transfer equipment.
