General description

Our premium ACS solvents are ideal for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning. They meet or exceed the rigorous standards of the American Chemical Society (ACS), ensuring high-quality results for your research needs.

Premium ACS Solvents: Our solvents meet or exceed the stringent standards set by the American Chemical Society, ensuring high quality and reliability for your laboratory applications.

Replicable and Publishable Results: Designed for consistency, our solvents deliver results that can be reliably reproduced, making them ideal for research that requires publication.

Versatile Applications: Suitable for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning, our solvents cater to a wide range of research needs in the laboratory.
Petroleum ether is the petroleum fraction, consisting of C5 and C6 hydrocarbons (Pentanes and hexanes are the major constituents), commonly used as a laboratory solvent due to its low boiling point and non-polar characteristics.

Application

Petroleum ether can be used as a solvent for extracting:
  • Non-polar compounds from various samples, such as plant materials or organic mixtures.
  • Carotenoids from the marine Thraustochytrium sp. ONC-T18.
