Product Overview
n-Heptane HPLC is a high-purity solvent specifically designed for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and other demanding laboratory applications. With a minimum purity of 99.9%, this solvent ensures minimal interference in analytical procedures, offering ultra-low UV absorbance and negligible residue. Its consistent composition and low reactivity make it an ideal choice for precise separations in chromatographic techniques. The solvent undergoes rigorous quality control to eliminate contaminants such as water, acids, and aldehydes, ensuring reliable and reproducible results. Its low viscosity and volatility further enhance its suitability for fast and efficient solvent extraction processes. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles, n-Heptane HPLC maintains stability and purity during storage, making it a dependable option for laboratories requiring high-performance solvents. The absence of stabilizers or additives guarantees compatibility with sensitive analytical instruments, reducing the risk of column degradation or baseline drift. Whether used as a mobile phase or for sample preparation, this HPLC-grade n-Heptane delivers exceptional clarity and performance, meeting the stringent requirements of modern analytical workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of n-Heptane HPLC when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from heat and direct sunlight, n-Heptane HPLC retains its purity and performance for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this solvent compatible with standard HPLC columns?
Yes, n-Heptane HPLC is fully compatible with most reversed-phase and normal-phase HPLC columns, including C18, silica, and cyano phases, due to its high purity and lack of additives.
3. Can n-Heptane HPLC be used as a substitute for hexane in lab applications?
While both are non-polar solvents, n-Heptane has a slightly higher boiling point and different elution properties, so method validation is recommended before substitution.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling this solvent?
Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles), and avoid inhalation or skin contact, as n-Heptane is flammable and may cause irritation.
5. Does this product contain any stabilizers or preservatives?
No, n-Heptane HPLC is free from stabilizers, preservatives, or additives, ensuring minimal interference in analytical applications.
