Description
Perfluoro compounds, C₅-18 are fully fluorinated organic substances supplied for laboratory and biochemical work, identified by CAS number 86508-42-1 and the empirical formula C₁₀F₂₂. The material is characterised by a molar mass of 538,07 g/mol and a density of 1,85 g/cm³, values that support accurate weighing, formulation and density-based handling in analytical and preparative settings. The C₅-18 designation reflects a defined carbon-chain range within this perfluorinated family, helping laboratories select a consistent grade for method development, reference preparations and comparative studies. These perfluoro compounds from manufacturer Carl ROTH fit chemical and biochemical catalogues where high-density fluorinated materials are specified. Clear CAS, formula and physical-property data streamline inventory control, safety documentation and protocol writing. Use the stated molar mass and density when calculating stock solutions, mixture ratios or mass-balance checks. The compact unit supports both single-project needs and shared laboratory stocks while keeping identity and specification data readily accessible at the bench.

Questions about Perfluoro compounds, C5-18, 250 g
What is this article?
Perfluoro compounds, C5-18, 250 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents. The sub-category is Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
