n-Tetradecane is used to study the thermodiffusion behavior of the microemulsion droplets of water, n-alkanes and pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether. It is used as reference material in gas chromatographic analysis, as a solvent and finds applications in organic synthesis.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
