Key Applications
Silica gel 100-200 mesh is commonly used in:
- Column chromatography for separating mixtures
- Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) as a stationary phase
- Desiccation to control humidity in storage
- Purification of liquids and gases
- Catalyst support in chemical reactions
Why This Grade Matters
Laboratory-grade silica gel is free from impurities that could interfere with sensitive experiments. The 100-200 mesh size offers a balance between flow rate and resolution, making it a preferred choice for both academic and professional labs.
Unlike industrial-grade alternatives, this silica gel undergoes rigorous testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Whether you’re a student learning chromatography or a researcher refining a protocol, this product delivers dependable results.
Handling and Storage
Store silica gel in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid inhalation and direct contact with skin or eyes. In case of accidental exposure, rinse thoroughly with water.
Risk Note
Silica gel is non-toxic but may cause irritation if inhaled or ingested. Use in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles) when handling.
FAQs
What is the particle size range for silica gel 100-200 mesh?
The 100-200 mesh size refers to particles that pass through a 100-mesh sieve but are retained on a 200-mesh sieve, typically ranging from 75 to 150 microns.
Can this silica gel be reused after desiccation?
Yes, silica gel can be regenerated by heating it to 120–150°C for 2–3 hours to remove absorbed moisture, restoring its adsorption capacity.
Is this silica gel suitable for flash chromatography?
Absolutely. The 100-200 mesh size is commonly used in flash chromatography due to its optimal flow rate and separation efficiency.
What is the shelf life of silica gel?
When stored properly in a sealed container, silica gel has an indefinite shelf life. However, its adsorption capacity may reduce if exposed to moisture.
Where can I buy silica gel 100-200 mesh in bulk?
You can buy silica gel 100-200 mesh online from eqipped in a 5kg pack, ideal for labs, universities, and research facilities.
