Toluene for GC is a high-purity aromatic hydrocarbon solvent (CAS 108-88-3) essential for gas chromatography as a sample solvent, sample diluent, and peak calibration standard in analytical labs. More broadly, toluene serves as a solvent for paints, coatings, adhesives and inks, a gasoline octane enhancer, and a feedstock for benzene, benzoic acid and polyurethane production. It meets stringent purity requirements for GC applications, with a molecular weight of 92.14 g/mol and a boiling point of 110.6°C. Store at ambient conditions in a well-ventilated area; the product carries a Danger signal word due to its flammability and toxicity. Molekula supplies Toluene for GC from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
