Description
n-Hexane ROTISOLV® is a high-purity aliphatic solvent with a minimum assay of 99 %, specified for MOSH/MOAH work. Identified by CAS number 110-54-3 and empirical formula C₆H₁₄, it has a molar mass of 86,18 g/mol and a density of 0,66 g/cm³. The boiling point lies between 68 and 69 °C, and the flash point is −22 °C. Packed as 2,5 l in glass, this grade is intended for environmental analysis and as a solvent for gas chromatography. Laboratories employ n-hexane from manufacturer Carl ROTH among reagents and reference materials where defined purity and reproducible physical data support extraction, sample preparation and GC workflows. The substance is further characterised by EG number 203-777-6 and UN number 1208. Its low density and narrow boiling range make it suitable for routine analytical sequences that require a consistent hydrocarbon solvent profile without extending beyond the stated specification.

Questions about n-Hexane, ROTISOLV®, min. 99 %, MOSH/MOAH, 2.5 l, glass
What is this article?
n-Hexane, ROTISOLV®, min. 99 %, MOSH/MOAH, 2.5 l, 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.
Shelves beside this one are HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, 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.
