Product Overview
Cyclohexane, 99%+ purity, is a premium-grade solvent specifically formulated for spectroscopy applications. This high-purity cyclohexane is meticulously refined to eliminate impurities that could interfere with spectral analysis, ensuring reliable and reproducible results. Its non-polar nature makes it particularly suitable for dissolving non-polar compounds, while its low UV absorbance in the 200-400 nm range prevents signal interference in UV-Vis spectroscopy. The solvent is also compatible with infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, offering versatility across multiple analytical techniques. Packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, this cyclohexane maintains its stability and purity during storage. The spectroscopy-grade certification guarantees minimal water content and absence of fluorescent or phosphorescent contaminants, making it the preferred choice for laboratories demanding high-precision analytical work. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international standards for spectroscopic solvents.
FAQs
1. What is the UV cutoff wavelength for this cyclohexane?
The UV cutoff for this spectroscopy-grade cyclohexane is approximately 200 nm, making it suitable for most UV-Vis spectroscopy applications without significant absorbance interference.
2. Can this cyclohexane be used as a reference solvent in NMR spectroscopy?
Yes, this high-purity cyclohexane is commonly used as a reference solvent in proton NMR (1H NMR) due to its well-defined chemical shift (1.44 ppm) and lack of interfering signals.
3. How does the packaging prevent contamination during storage?
The solvent is packaged in amber glass bottles with PTFE-lined caps to block UV light and prevent leaching, while the PTFE lining ensures chemical resistance and maintains purity.
4. Is this cyclohexane compatible with plastic labware?
While cyclohexane can dissolve certain plastics like polystyrene, it is generally safe for short-term use with HDPE or PTFE labware, which are more chemically resistant.
5. What is the typical water content in this spectroscopy-grade cyclohexane?
The water content is maintained below 0.01% (100 ppm) as per spectroscopy-grade standards, ensuring minimal interference in sensitive analytical applications.
