Description
Acetic acid n-butyl ester (n-butyl acetate) is offered as a ROTISOLV® HPLC solvent with a minimum purity of 99,5 %. It has the empirical formula C₆H₁₂O₂, molar mass 116,16 g/mol and density 0,881 g/cm³; the boiling point is 126,2 °C and the flash point is 27 °C (CAS 123-86-4, EG nr. 204-658-1). Packed in a 2,5 l glass bottle, this ester is intended for liquid chromatography and related laboratory solvent duties where a defined HPLC-grade assay is specified. Its physical profile—moderate boiling point and density—supports use in chromatographic sample handling and mobile-phase related work under standard laboratory practice. The solvent is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH in the ROTISOLV® HPLC line, giving laboratories a consistent source of min. 99,5 % acetic acid n-butyl ester for HPLC-oriented applications.
This article is part of HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, in Solvents.

Questions about Acetic acid n-butyl ester, ROTISOLV® min. 99,5 %, HPLC, 2.5 l, glass
What is this article?
Acetic acid n-butyl ester, ROTISOLV® min. 99,5 %, HPLC, 2.5 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
HPLC grade limits the absorbance and the residue that would appear as peaks or baseline drift. LC-MS grade goes further on metal ions and on particles that would suppress a mass spectrum. A solvent that is only analytical grade is a false economy on an LC-MS system.
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 HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
