Product Overview
This HPLC-grade isohexane is a high-purity solvent specifically formulated for demanding chromatographic and analytical applications. With a controlled n-hexane content of less than 5%, it ensures minimal interference in sensitive analyses, making it a reliable choice for laboratories requiring consistent, reproducible results. The solvent undergoes rigorous purification processes to eliminate impurities that could compromise data integrity, including residual moisture, particulate matter, and UV-absorbing compounds. Its low UV cutoff and high transparency in the UV-Vis spectrum enhance detection sensitivity in spectrophotometric techniques. The chemical stability of this isohexane variant prevents degradation during storage or prolonged use, maintaining its performance over time. Compatible with most standard HPLC systems, it integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without requiring additional calibration. The packaging in 1L and 2.5L volumes provides flexibility for both small-scale experiments and larger batch processing, while the airtight sealing preserves purity until use. As a non-polar solvent, it effectively dissolves hydrophobic compounds, making it particularly useful for reverse-phase chromatography and sample preparation protocols where selective extraction is critical.
FAQs
1. What is the maximum allowable n-hexane content in this isohexane?
The product contains less than 5% n-hexane, as specified in the grade certification.
2. Can this solvent be used with standard HPLC columns?
Yes, it is fully compatible with most reverse-phase and normal-phase HPLC columns designed for non-polar solvents.
3. How should this isohexane be stored to maintain purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and ignition sources.
4. What alternatives exist if I need a different hexane isomer ratio?
Consider n-hexane or cyclohexane for applications requiring different isomer profiles, though purity grades may vary.
5. Does this product require special disposal procedures?
Follow standard laboratory protocols for flammable solvent disposal, adhering to local environmental regulations.
