Description
Squalene is a ROTICHROM® GC reference substance for gas chromatography, listed under CAS number 111-02-4 with empirical formula C₃₀H₅₀. It has a molar mass of 410,73 g/mol and a density of 0,86 g/cm³, a boiling point of 335 °C and a flash point above 200 °C. These parameters support its use as a defined hydrocarbon standard in GC calibration, identification and method verification. The material is packed as 1 g in glass, suited to analytical laboratories that require small, well-documented reference amounts. Physicochemical data from manufacturer Carl ROTH underpin routine quality control and research applications involving triterpene hydrocarbon standards. Squalene is applied in chromatography workflows where a high-boiling, unsaturated C₃₀ reference helps establish retention behaviour and system performance. It is intended for professional laboratory use within GC reference-substance programmes and related organic analytical protocols that depend on consistent identity and density information.
This article is part of Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about Squalene, ROTICHROM® GC, 1 g, glass
What is this article?
Squalene, ROTICHROM® GC, 1 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A chromatography standard is the substance, or the mix, injected so a peak can be named and quantified. Pesticide mixes, residual-solvent mixes and single-compound standards are different articles. The concentration and the solvent are the specification. The solvent has to be one the method may contain.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
