Description
1-Octanol is a ROTICHROM® GC reference substance for gas chromatography, identified by CAS number 111-87-5 and empirical formula C₈H₁₈O. It has a molar mass of 130,23 g/mol and a density of 0,828 g/cm³, with a boiling point of 194 °C and a flash point of 86,5 °C. These defined physicochemical values support calibration, retention-time checks and method development in analytical GC workflows. The product is supplied in a 1 g plastic pack, suited to laboratories that need small, clearly specified reference amounts for organic and environmental analysis. Physical and identity data from manufacturer Carl ROTH align with routine quality-control and research use of GC reference standards. As a straight-chain aliphatic alcohol standard, 1-Octanol fits chromatography applications where reproducible identity and documented boiling and density data are required. It is intended for professional laboratory use within gas-chromatography reference-substance programmes and related analytical protocols.
This article is part of Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about 1-Octanol, ROTICHROM® GC, 1 g, plastic
What is this article?
1-Octanol, ROTICHROM® GC, 1 g, plastic 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.
