Product Overview
Hexane (mixture of isomers) SG is a high-purity solvent blend specifically formulated for laboratory applications requiring precise and consistent results. Comprising a balanced mixture of hexane isomers, this laboratory-grade solvent offers a non-polar, low-viscosity profile with a boiling point range of 60-70°C, ensuring rapid evaporation and minimal residue. Its 95%+ purity level minimizes impurities, making it ideal for critical processes like solvent extraction, thin-layer chromatography, and organic synthesis. The fast-evaporating nature of this hexane blend enhances efficiency in sample preparation and purification workflows, while its low surface tension improves wetting properties for better interaction with solid matrices. Packaged in a 2.5 L container, this solvent maintains stability under standard lab conditions and is compatible with most glass and HDPE labware. The isomer mixture provides a consistent performance profile, reducing variability in experimental outcomes. Whether used as a standalone solvent or as part of a solvent system, this hexane blend delivers reliable performance for demanding laboratory protocols.
FAQs
1. What is the typical boiling range for this hexane isomer mixture?
The boiling point typically falls between 60-70°C, which is slightly lower than pure n-hexane due to the isomer composition.
2. Can this hexane mixture be used with HPLC systems?
While it can be used as a mobile phase component, we recommend checking your specific HPLC system’s compatibility with hexane isomers and considering UV-cutoff requirements.
3. How does this isomer mixture compare to pure n-hexane in terms of evaporation rate?
The evaporation rate is generally faster than pure n-hexane due to the presence of lower-boiling isomers, making it more efficient for rapid solvent removal applications.
4. What type of container material is recommended for long-term storage?
Glass or HDPE containers with tight-fitting caps are ideal for storage, as they prevent solvent loss and contamination from atmospheric moisture.
5. Does this product contain any stabilizers or additives?
This laboratory-grade hexane mixture is free from added stabilizers or preservatives, maintaining its purity for analytical applications.
