Product Description
When your lab work demands a reliable, high-purity solvent, n-heptane 95% PRA from Loba Chemie delivers consistent performance. This aliphatic hydrocarbon is a staple in analytical chemistry, offering a low-aromatic alternative to other solvents. Whether you’re running gas chromatography, extracting non-polar compounds, or conducting general lab procedures, this grade ensures minimal interference with your results.
The 95% purity level makes it suitable for most research applications while keeping costs reasonable for educational institutions and small labs. Unlike technical-grade heptane, this PRA version undergoes stricter quality control, so you can trust its composition batch after batch. Many researchers choose this specific product for its balanced combination of purity and value.
In educational settings, n-heptane serves as an excellent teaching tool for demonstrating solvent properties and separation techniques. Its moderate boiling point (around 98°C) and non-polar nature make it ideal for illustrating concepts like polarity, solubility, and distillation. Students working on organic chemistry projects often reach for this solvent when they need predictable behavior in their experiments.
For professional labs, the applications extend to sample preparation, equipment cleaning, and as a reference standard in some analytical methods. The 500ml pack size offers enough volume for multiple experiments without excessive storage concerns. When you buy n-heptane online from eqipped, you’re getting a product that meets international quality standards, packaged to maintain its integrity during transit.

FAQs
What’s the difference between n-heptane and regular heptane?
n-heptane refers specifically to the straight-chain isomer (normal heptane), while “heptane” can include various branched isomers. The n- form has more predictable properties for lab work.
Can I use this for HPLC applications?
While suitable for many chromatographic techniques, for HPLC you’d typically want a higher purity grade. This 95% PRA works well for general chromatography but may contain trace impurities that could affect sensitive HPLC detectors.
How should I dispose of unused n-heptane?
Collect waste in a properly labeled flammable liquid waste container and arrange disposal through your institution’s chemical waste program. Never pour down drains or dispose with regular trash.
What’s the shelf life of this product?
When stored properly in its original container, n-heptane remains stable for at least 2 years. Always check for signs of contamination before use if stored for extended periods.
Do I need special equipment to handle this?
Basic lab safety equipment suffices: gloves, goggles, and proper ventilation. For larger quantities, consider using a flammable liquid storage cabinet.
