Gas chromatography (GC) is a cornerstone analytical technique, celebrated for its exceptional separation capacity and sensitivity. Whether you’re identifying trace compounds or ensuring precise quantification, the quality of your solvents and standards directly influences your results. VWR’s tailored PESTINORM® range of solvents and standards delivers the purity and reliability that GC demands.
Precision Starts with Purity
For accurate GC analysis, high-purity solvents are indispensable. VWR’s PESTINORM® solvents are designed to eliminate contamination risks:
Ultra-low organic and halogenated derivatives minimize interference.
Rigorous purification and nitrogen bottling preserve solvent integrity.
Evaporation residue levels as low as <3 ppm ensure optimal performance.
