The porous structure of these silica gel beads allows them to adsorb up to 40% of their weight in moisture, making them far more effective than traditional desiccants. Researchers often use them in column chromatography to separate mixtures based on polarity, while industries rely on them to protect moisture-sensitive products during storage and transport.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of quality in laboratory supplies. That’s why we source our silica gel directly from trusted manufacturers like Qualigens, ensuring you receive a product that meets stringent purity standards. The 6-20 mesh specification provides the perfect balance between flow rate and adsorption capacity for most lab applications.
FAQs
What is the difference between 6-20 mesh and other silica gel grades?
The mesh size refers to the particle size range, with 6-20 mesh being coarser than higher mesh numbers. This grade offers a good balance between flow rate and surface area, making it ideal for general laboratory use where both adsorption capacity and reasonable flow rates are needed.
How can I regenerate used silica gel beads?
To regenerate, spread the beads in a shallow tray and heat in an oven at 120-150°C for 2-3 hours. The beads will turn from pink (if indicator type) to blue when fully regenerated. Allow to cool before reuse in a desiccator or storage container.
Is this silica gel suitable for food or pharmaceutical applications?
This laboratory-grade silica gel is not certified for food or pharmaceutical use. For those applications, you would need food-grade or USP-grade silica gel with appropriate certifications.
What quantity should I order for regular lab use?
For most research labs, the 25kg pack provides an economical supply that lasts several months of regular use. Smaller quantities are available if you need to test the product before committing to bulk purchase.
How should I store unused silica gel?
Store in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and direct sunlight. For long-term storage, consider keeping it in a desiccator or with additional moisture protection to maintain its adsorption capacity.
