Product Overview

Florisil®, a synthetic magnesium silicate, is a highly purified adsorbent activated at 675°C to ensure optimal performance in chromatographic applications. This 60-100 mesh variant offers a balanced particle size distribution, providing efficient separation and purification in analytical procedures. The BAKER ANALYZED™ reagent grade guarantees consistent quality, meeting stringent laboratory standards for reproducibility and accuracy. Its high surface area and controlled pore structure make it particularly effective for the selective adsorption of polar compounds, ensuring clean extracts in pesticide residue analysis and environmental testing. The activation process at elevated temperatures removes residual moisture and organic impurities, enhancing its adsorption capacity and stability. This product is chemically inert, minimizing interference in sensitive analytical techniques. Its uniform particle size distribution ensures consistent flow rates in column chromatography, reducing variability in results. Florisil® is widely recognized for its reliability in sample preparation protocols across various industries, including environmental monitoring, food safety testing, and pharmaceutical analysis.
