Product Overview
1,4-Dioxane, 99.5% pure and HPLC-grade, is a high-performance solvent designed for demanding chromatographic applications. Its low UV absorbance and minimal impurity profile make it an excellent choice for analytical laboratories requiring consistent, reliable results. The solvent’s anhydrous nature ensures stability during storage and use, while its miscibility with water and organic solvents enhances versatility in sample preparation. This grade is rigorously tested to meet strict HPLC standards, guaranteeing compatibility with modern instrumentation. The low residual water content prevents interference in sensitive analyses, while the high boiling point (101°C) allows for controlled evaporation. Packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, this solvent maintains its integrity over extended periods. Whether used as a mobile phase component or for sample dissolution, its purity ensures reproducible retention times and peak shapes.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of HPLC-grade 1,4-Dioxane?
When stored unopened in its original container at room temperature, this solvent remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this 1,4-Dioxane compatible with all HPLC columns?
Yes, its high purity and low particulate content make it suitable for use with silica-based, reversed-phase, and specialty HPLC columns.
3. What alternatives exist for HPLC applications if 1,4-Dioxane is unavailable?
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) or acetonitrile can sometimes substitute, but adjustments to gradient conditions may be required due to differing polarity.
4. How should this solvent be stored to maintain purity?
Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources to prevent contamination or degradation.
5. Does this product contain stabilizers or additives?
No, this is a pure 1,4-Dioxane formulation without added stabilizers, ensuring minimal interference in analytical procedures.
