Description
Diethyl ether ROTISOLV® Pestilyse® is a high-purity solvent grade with a minimum assay of 99,8 %, stabilised with ethanol for laboratory and chromatographic use. It carries CAS number 60-29-7 and empirical formula C₄H₁₀O, with a molar mass of 74,12 g/mol and a density of 0,71 g/cm³. The boiling point lies between 34,58 and 34,59 °C, and the flash point is −40 °C, reflecting the highly volatile character typical of diethyl ether in GC solvent workflows. Supplied as 2,5 l in glass, this ROTISOLV® quality from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned for gas chromatography and related analytical applications that demand low-residue solvent performance. Supporting identifiers include EG number 200-467-2 and UN number 1155. The combination of Pestilyse® specification, ethanol stabilisation, and defined physical constants makes it a practical choice for GC sample preparation and solvent systems in analytical laboratories.
This article is part of HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, in Solvents.

Questions about Diethyl ether, ROTISOLV®, min. 99,8 %, Pestilyse®, 2.5 l, glass
What is this article?
Diethyl ether, ROTISOLV®, min. 99,8 %, Pestilyse®, 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?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
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.
How does ordering and shipping work?
We deliver across the EU, usually within two to five working days. More is on Delivery across the EU. The terms are in the Shipping Policy. The full brand index is on shop by brand. Who we are is on about us.
