Description
Capric acid is a ROTICHROM® GC reference substance supplied for gas chromatography applications, with CAS number 334-48-5, EG nr. 206-376-4, and empirical formula C₁₀H₂₀O₂. The molar mass is 172,27 g/mol, density 0,89 g/cm³, boiling point 268,7 °C, and flash point 147 °C, giving analysts the physicochemical data needed for method setup and peak identification. Packaged as 1 g in glass, this unit is intended for calibration, system suitability, and qualitative or quantitative GC work with fatty acids and related analytes. Capric acid (decanoic acid) is a common C₁₀ saturated fatty acid standard in lipid and flavour analysis as well as broader organic GC methods. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the ROTICHROM® GC grade supports laboratories that require traceable reference materials for chromatography workflows. The compact 1 g glass pack suits reference collections, method validation, and routine calibration without excess inventory. Identity parameters including CAS, EG number, and formula aid documentation in regulated and research GC environments focused on reliable reference substances.
This article is part of Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), in Analytical standards & reference materials.

Questions about Capric acid, ROTICHROM® GC, 1 g, glass
What is this article?
Capric acid, ROTICHROM® GC, 1 g, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Chromatography standards (GC, HPLC, pesticides), inside Analytical standards & reference materials, in Lab chemicals.
A chromatography standard is the substance, or the mix, injected so a peak can be named and quantified. Pesticide mixes, residual-solvent mixes and single-compound standards are different articles. The concentration and the solvent are the specification. The solvent has to be one the method may contain.
A reference material is the article against which another result is compared. Its value is stated, and the uncertainty of that value is part of the product. An ICP or ion standard is a solution of known concentration. A volumetric standard is for titration. A chromatography standard is the peak you match. The grade names, including pharmacopoeia and ASTM, say which impurities were limited. Identity is checked on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Medicinal grades follow the European Pharmacopoeia and USP.
