VWR n-Pentane ≥99.0%, AnalaR NORMAPUR® analytical reagent

VWR n-Pentane (H₃C(CH₂)₃CH₃) is a volatile, low-density, straight-chain alkane, supplied under the AnalaR NORMAPUR® grade with a minimum purity of 99.0%, suitable for analytical chemistry, chromatographic separations, and sample preparation. With its boiling point around 35–36 °C and flash point of –40 °C, n-pentane is ideal for applications requiring rapid evaporation and non-polar solvent behavior.

This reagent-grade solvent is widely used in gas chromatography (GC), residue analysis, evaporative methods, and extraction processes. It is classified as highly flammable, hazardous to health and the environment, and requires appropriate precautions during storage and use.
