Description
Petroleum ether 40-60 °C is an extra pure hydrocarbon solvent grade conforming to DAB requirements. It is characterised by a boiling range of 40 to 60 °C, a density of 0,65 g/cm³ and a flash point of −40 °C, making it a low-boiling non-polar medium for laboratory extractions and degreasing steps. Typical laboratory uses include lipid extraction, chromatography sample work-up and cleaning of glassware or apparatus under controlled conditions. The narrow boiling interval supports reproducible evaporation behaviour in concentration procedures. This DAB extra pure petroleum ether is offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH for laboratories that need a consistent light petroleum fraction. Clear physical specification data facilitate method transfer and routine solvent selection in analytical and preparative settings.
This article is part of Moisture analysers, in Balances & scales.

Questions about Petroleum ether 40-60 °C, DAB, extra pure, 1 l, glass
What is this article?
Petroleum ether 40-60 °C, DAB, extra pure, 1 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Moisture analysers, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A moisture analyser is a balance with a halogen or infrared heater. It records the loss of mass as a sample dries and reports that loss as moisture. The temperature program and the sample mass decide whether the number is water or is decomposition.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Balances & scales. The sub-category is Moisture analysers. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
Shelves beside this one are Calibration & test weights, Precision balances, Balance accessories, calibration & certificates, Bench, platform & industrial scales and Analytical balances.
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.
