Product Name – n-Heptane, 99%, for biochemistry, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 1LT, 2.5LT Form – Liquid Grade – 99% (Biochemistry) Application – Solvent, chromatography, extractions
Product Overview
n-Heptane (99% purity) is a high-quality, non-polar solvent designed for biochemistry and analytical applications. Packaged in AcroSeal® containers, it ensures minimal contamination and extended shelf life, making it ideal for sensitive laboratory procedures. This aliphatic hydrocarbon exhibits low reactivity, a narrow boiling range (98–100°C), and excellent volatility, which are critical for chromatography, extractions, and solvent-based reactions. Its refined purity eliminates impurities that could interfere with experimental accuracy, while the AcroSeal® technology prevents moisture ingress and solvent evaporation. The solvent’s consistent composition and batch-to-batch reliability support reproducible results in research and testing environments. Compatible with most organic compounds, n-Heptane serves as a standard reference material in gas chromatography and a dilution solvent for non-polar samples. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources to maintain stability.
FAQs
1. What is the boiling point of this n-Heptane grade?
The boiling point ranges between 98–100°C, ensuring predictable evaporation rates for lab applications.
2. Is this n-Heptane suitable for HPLC or GC analysis?
Yes, the 99% purity and low UV absorbance make it compatible with HPLC and GC as a solvent or mobile phase component.
3. How does AcroSeal® packaging benefit storage?
AcroSeal® containers feature a PTFE-lined cap and airtight seal to prevent solvent loss, oxidation, or moisture contamination.
4. Can this be used as a substitute for hexane in extractions?
While similar, n-Heptane has a slightly higher boiling point and lower toxicity than hexane, but compatibility depends on the specific protocol.
5. What precautions should be taken during handling?
Use in a fume hood due to flammability, avoid inhalation, and wear nitrile gloves to prevent skin contact with the solvent.
