1-Pentanol

Application
1-Pentanol has been used as a reference standard for the analysis of the analyte in honey samples[1] and in Spanish sparkling wine samples[2] by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively. It may be used as a reference standard for the determination of the analyte in food samples by two-dimensional gas chromatography equipped with flame ionization detector (FID) as well as time-of-flight spectrometry (ToF MS).[3] Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique.
