Description
2-Methoxyethanol is a high-purity glycol ether solvent supplied as ROTIPURAN® with a minimum assay of 99,3 %, p.a. and ACS grade. The compound has the empirical formula C₃H₈O₂, CAS number 109-86-4, EG number 203-713-7 and a molar mass of 76,10 g/mol. Density lies between 0,964 and 0,966 g/cm³, the flash point is 37 °C and the boiling range is 123,5 to 125,5 °C. a./ACS quality is specified. Typical applications include solvent systems for analysis, extractions and synthesis steps that require a polar, moderately high-boiling ether alcohol. This ROTIPURAN® grade material from manufacturer Carl ROTH provides documented identity and purity for quality-conscious laboratories. Observe the flammable classification (UN 1188) and standard handling precautions for alkoxyethanols. Clear specification data and the convenient glass pack support reliable use in analytical chemistry and related workflows.

Questions about 2-Methoxyethanol, ROTIPURAN® min. 99,3 %, p.a., ACS, 500 ml, glass
What is this article?
2-Methoxyethanol, ROTIPURAN® min. 99,3 %, p.a., ACS, 500 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
