Product Overview
n-Heptane AR is a high-purity, straight-chain alkane solvent designed for precision laboratory applications. With a minimum assay of 99%, this analytical reagent-grade heptane ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for critical processes like gas chromatography, solvent extraction, and general lab use. Its low boiling point (98°C) and high volatility allow for rapid evaporation without residue, while its non-polar nature makes it an excellent solvent for organic compounds. The AR grade guarantees consistency and reliability in experimental results, meeting stringent quality standards for research and testing environments. Packaged in a leak-proof, amber glass bottle, it maintains stability and purity over extended storage periods. This solvent is also compatible with most standard lab equipment, including HPLC and GC systems, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows. Its clear, colorless appearance and neutral odor further enhance its usability in controlled laboratory settings.
FAQs
1. Is n-Heptane AR suitable for use in gas chromatography?
Yes, its high purity and low residue properties make it ideal for gas chromatography applications where solvent interference must be minimized.
2. What is the shelf life of n-Heptane AR when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, it retains stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
3. Can this solvent be used with plastic labware?
Prolonged exposure may degrade certain plastics; use with glass or PTFE-coated containers for best results.
4. What safety precautions should be taken while handling n-Heptane AR?
Use in a well-ventilated area, wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles, and avoid inhalation or skin contact due to its flammable nature.
5. How does AR grade differ from technical-grade heptane?
AR grade undergoes stricter purification processes, resulting in higher purity and lower impurity levels compared to technical-grade variants.
