Product Overview
n-Heptane 99% is a high-purity, non-polar solvent specifically formulated for HPLC and UV spectroscopy applications. Its low UV absorbance and minimal impurities ensure accurate chromatographic separations and spectral analysis. This grade is rigorously tested to meet stringent laboratory standards, offering consistent performance in analytical workflows. The solvent’s narrow boiling range (98.4°C) and high volatility make it ideal for rapid evaporation in sample preparation. Its chemical stability and resistance to oxidation further enhance reliability in long-term storage. Compatible with most organic compounds, n-Heptane 99% serves as an excellent mobile phase component in normal-phase HPLC and a reference standard in UV-Vis calibration. The product is packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, preserving its purity until use. For researchers requiring reproducible results, this solvent delivers exceptional baseline stability and peak resolution in analytical instrumentation.
FAQs
