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 product line was created to satisfy the demanding requirements of Gas Chromatography (GC) and GC-Headspace analysis. The ECD, FID, and MS detection are exhaustively checked. Bluster products are developed for the highest analytical accuracy – meticulously tested in ECD, FID, and MS detection while optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio for vital retention times. Bluster's solvents comply with the Ph. Eur., USP, and EPA regulations and are specifically intended for headspace gas chromatography applications such as residual solvent analysis in pharmaceuticals, excipients, and pesticide residue analysis. Bluster’s remarkable production process allows the company to provide exceptionally pure solvents in smaller, more convenient packaging, enabling for timely and economical shipping without compromising quality. These solvents deliver Bluster’s customers precise, reliable, and reproducible analytical results.
