Product Overview
n-Nonane, 99% anhydrous, is a high-purity aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent designed for critical laboratory applications where moisture-free conditions are essential. Packaged under nitrogen in an AcroSeal® bottle, this solvent maintains its integrity by minimizing exposure to atmospheric moisture, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive procedures. The 99% purity level guarantees minimal impurities, making it suitable for use as a calibration standard in gas chromatography or as a reaction medium in organic synthesis. Its low polarity and high boiling point (150.8°C) provide stability across a range of temperatures, while the anhydrous grade eliminates water interference in analytical processes. The solvent is compatible with most organic compounds and is particularly valued in research settings where reproducibility and precision are paramount. The AcroSeal® packaging further enhances shelf life by preventing contamination, making it a reliable choice for long-term storage without degradation. Whether used in trace analysis, extraction processes, or as a reference material, this n-Nonane variant delivers the purity and consistency required for high-stakes laboratory work.
FAQs
1. What is the significance of the anhydrous grade in n-Nonane?
The anhydrous grade indicates that the n-Nonane contains less than 0.005% water, which is critical for applications where moisture can interfere with reactions or analytical results. This makes it ideal for processes like gas chromatography or moisture-sensitive synthesis.
2. Can this n-Nonane be used with plastic containers for storage?
n-Nonane is a non-polar solvent that can degrade certain plastics over time. For long-term storage, it is recommended to use glass containers or HDPE bottles specifically rated for hydrocarbon solvents to prevent leaching or contamination.
3. How does the AcroSeal® packaging benefit this product?
The AcroSeal® packaging uses a specialized seal and nitrogen purging to minimize oxygen and moisture exposure. This extends the solvent’s shelf life, preserves its purity, and reduces the risk of oxidation or hydrolysis during storage.
4. What alternatives exist if n-Nonane is unavailable?
Depending on the application, alternatives like n-Octane or n-Decane can be considered, though their boiling points and solvent properties differ. For chromatography, iso-octane or hexane may also be used, but purity and polarity should be matched to the specific requirements.
5. Is this product compatible with automated liquid handling systems?
Yes, n-Nonane (99%, anhydrous) is compatible with most automated liquid handling systems, provided the system’s materials (e.g., tubing, seals) are resistant to non-polar solvents. Always verify compatibility with the equipment manufacturer’s guidelines.
