Product Overview

n-Heptane 99.5% GC is a high-purity aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent widely used in laboratory applications requiring precise and consistent results. This grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for gas chromatography (GC) analysis, solvent extraction, and as a calibration standard. Its low boiling point (98.4°C) and non-polar nature allow for efficient separation of non-polar compounds, while its stability ensures reliable performance in analytical procedures. The solvent is distilled to meet strict purity standards, reducing background interference in sensitive instruments. Compatible with most organic solvents, n-Heptane is also used in sample preparation and as a reaction medium in organic synthesis. Its clear, colorless appearance and low odor make it ideal for controlled lab environments. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources to maintain integrity. This product is packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent degradation from light exposure, ensuring long-term stability for critical applications.

FAQs

1. What is the boiling point of n-Heptane 99.5% GC?

The boiling point of n-Heptane is approximately 98.4°C, making it suitable for distillation and solvent extraction processes.

2. Can this grade be used for HPLC applications?

While n-Heptane is primarily used in GC, it can serve as a mobile phase modifier in HPLC for non-polar compounds, but compatibility should be verified with your specific method.

3. How should n-Heptane be stored to maintain purity?

Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources to prevent evaporation or contamination.

4. Is this solvent compatible with plastic containers?

n-Heptane may degrade certain plastics; use glass or HDPE containers for long-term storage to avoid leaching or container failure.

5. What alternatives exist for non-polar solvent applications?

Alternatives include n-Hexane or Isooctane, though their boiling points and polarity differ, so suitability depends on the specific analytical requirements.
