Toluene for HPLC is a high-purity aromatic hydrocarbon solvent used as a mobile phase component in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for analytical separations. It ensures accurate, reproducible results in laboratory applications. More broadly, toluene serves as a solvent for paints, lacquers, inks and adhesives and as a starting material for benzene, benzoic acid, benzaldehyde and dyes. CAS 108-88-3, molecular formula C6H5CH3, molecular weight 92.14 g/mol. Store at ambient conditions. Hazard classification: Danger (highly flammable liquid and vapour; may be fatal if swallowed and enters airways; causes skin irritation; may cause drowsiness or dizziness; suspected of damaging the unborn child; may cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure; harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects). Molekula supplies Toluene for HPLC from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
