Product Overview
n-Hexane, 95%+ purity, is a high-performance solvent specifically formulated for HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) applications. This lab-grade hexane ensures minimal UV absorbance, making it ideal for sensitive analytical procedures requiring precise separation and detection. Its low polarity and high volatility enhance efficiency in solvent extraction and sample preparation, while its strict quality control guarantees consistent results. The solvent is free from residual impurities, ensuring reliable baseline stability in chromatographic analysis. Its compatibility with most organic compounds and non-polar stationary phases makes it a versatile choice for laboratories. The 95%+ purity level meets stringent analytical standards, reducing the risk of interference in critical experiments. Whether used as a mobile phase component or for sample dilution, this HPLC-grade n-Hexane delivers reproducibility and accuracy, essential for research and quality control applications.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of n-Hexane 95%+ for HPLC?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from heat and ignition sources, n-Hexane 95%+ retains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this n-Hexane suitable for GC (Gas Chromatography) applications?
While primarily formulated for HPLC, this grade of n-Hexane can also be used in GC applications due to its high purity and low residue profile.
3. What precautions should be taken while handling n-Hexane?
Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles), and avoid inhalation or skin contact due to its flammable and mildly toxic nature.
4. Can this n-Hexane be used as a substitute for hexane in general lab cleaning?
Yes, but its high purity makes it more expensive for routine cleaning; standard-grade hexane is typically preferred for non-analytical purposes.
5. How does the 95%+ purity compare to lower grades of hexane?
The 95%+ purity ensures fewer impurities, reducing baseline noise in HPLC and improving separation efficiency compared to technical or reagent-grade hexane.
