Description
Petroleum ether 40-60 °C is a specialised solvent in ROTISOLV® GC Ultra Grade for gas chromatographic work. It covers a boiling range of 40 to 60 °C, with a density of 0,65 g/cm³ and a flash point of −40 °C, making it suitable for low-boiling aliphatic hydrocarbon applications in sample preparation and GC workflows. The product is supplied in a 2,5 l glass bottle for convenient laboratory handling. From manufacturer Carl ROTH, this ROTISOLV® grade is intended for solvents used in chromatographic and GC applications where a defined boiling window supports reproducible behaviour. Analytical laboratories can use this petroleum ether fraction where controlled volatility and consistent solvent quality are required. Classification under UN number 3295 reflects its transport identity as a hydrocarbon mixture. The glass pack supports routine dispensing in method development and routine GC analyses within professional laboratory environments focused on solvents for chromatographic applications.
This article is part of HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, in Solvents. See also Analytical grade solvents (p.a.).

Questions about Petroleum ether 40-60 °C, ROTISOLV® GC Ultra Grade, 2.5 l, glass
What is this article?
Petroleum ether 40-60 °C, ROTISOLV® GC Ultra Grade, 2.5 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
HPLC grade limits the absorbance and the residue that would appear as peaks or baseline drift. LC-MS grade goes further on metal ions and on particles that would suppress a mass spectrum. A solvent that is only analytical grade is a false economy on an LC-MS system.
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 HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
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.
