Isooctane

Isooctane (CAS Number: 540-84-1; Molecular Formula: C8H18; Molecular Weight: 114.23g/mol) is a clear, colorless aliphatic hydrocarbon widely used as a reference fuel due to its excellent anti-knock properties. It serves as the primary standard for octane rating in fuel testing and is commonly used as a non-polar solvent in laboratories, chemical synthesis, and analytical applications. Isooctane is also utilized in GC analysis, method validation, and routine quality control, as well as in extraction and cleaning processes where low reactivity and clean evaporation are required. Isooctane used in biotechnology applications,  used as solvent in qualitative and quantitative analysis in thin layer chromatography, used to increase the octane rating of combustion fuels, used as a solvent in enzyme purification and biocatalysis.
