اتیل استاتGC

Ethyl acetate is a high-purity, volatile ester widely used as a solvent, sample diluent, and extraction medium in gas chromatography (GC) and analytical applications.

🏭⚗️ Production
Ethyl acetate is produced via esterification of ethanol with acetic acid under controlled conditions, followed by purification to remove water and impurities. The solvent is packaged in tightly sealed, moisture-resistant containers to maintain chemical stability and ensure consistent analytical performance.

🔬 Properties
Ethyl acetate is a clear, colorless liquid with a sweet, fruity odor, low boiling point, and moderate density. It is slightly polar, miscible with many organic solvents, and partially soluble in water. Chemically stable under standard laboratory conditions, it is highly flammable and should be handled with care. Its volatility and solvation properties make it suitable for GC sample preparation, injection, and chromatographic separation.

🧪 Applications
Ethyl acetate is used as a diluent, extraction solvent, and mobile phase in GC analysis. It efficiently dissolves a wide range of polar and non-polar analytes and supports accurate and reproducible chromatographic results. It is applied in sample preparation, standard solution preparation, and purification procedures prior to GC injection.

⚠️ Safety
Ethyl acetate is highly flammable and can be harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Handling requires gloves, protective eyewear, and lab coats, and work should be conducted in a well-ventilated fume hood. Containers should be stored tightly sealed, away from heat, sparks, and strong oxidizers. Waste must be disposed of according to laboratory hazardous chemical regulations.
