Description
(-)-α-Pinene is a bicyclic monoterpene reference substance supplied in ROTICHROM® GC quality for gas chromatography. With CAS number 7785-26-4 and empirical formula C₁₀H₁₆, it has a molar mass of 136,24 g/mol and a density of 0,858 g/cm³. The boiling range is 155 to 156 °C and the flash point is 33 °C, which are relevant for safe handling and method setup. Packaged as 100 mg in glass, the material supports calibration, identification and retention-index work on pinene isomers and related terpenes. Analytical laboratories use this enantiomer in essential-oil, fragrance and natural-product GC applications where stereochemical definition matters. The product is offered from manufacturer Carl ROTH in the ROTICHROM® GC reference portfolio. EG number 232-077-3 aids substance tracking in quality systems. The compact glass unit is practical for reference libraries and reduces waste of high-value standards. Density and volatility data help analysts plan injection and column conditions for reproducible chromatography.

Questions about (-)-alpha-Pinene, ROTICHROM® GC, 100 mg, glass
What is this article?
(-)-alpha-Pinene, ROTICHROM® GC, 100 mg, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Essential oils & fragrances, inside Natural products & essential oils, in Lab chemicals.
An essential oil is the volatile fraction distilled or pressed from a named plant part. The species, the chemotype and a stated component, when the seller gives one, are the specification. A fragrance compound is a formulated mixture. The two should not be treated as the same bottle.
A natural product is a molecule extracted from a plant, an animal or a microorganism, or a mixture of those molecules. An essential oil is the volatile fraction. The useful specification is the source species, the plant part and, where it exists, the stated content of a marker compound. Two oils with the same common name are not the same article. Marker compounds are identified on PubChem and named by IUPAC.
