FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of N-Hexane (99%+) ExcelaR?
The typical shelf life for N-Hexane (99%+) ExcelaR, when stored under proper conditions (cool, dry, away from direct sunlight and ignition sources, in a tightly sealed container), is usually specified on the product label. It’s recommended to adhere to the manufacturer’s recommended expiry date for optimal performance.
2. Can N-Hexane (99%+) ExcelaR be used for spectroscopic applications?
Yes, N-Hexane (99%+) ExcelaR, with its high purity and low residue characteristics, is suitable for various spectroscopic applications. Its transparency in the UV-Vis range makes it particularly useful for analyses where a clean solvent background is crucial for accurate readings.
3. Are there any specific safety precautions to observe when handling N-Hexane?
When handling N-Hexane, it is crucial to work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. N-Hexane is flammable, so keep it away from open flames, heat sources, and sparks. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive safety information.
4. What makes N-Hexane (99%+) ExcelaR different from technical grade N-Hexane?
N-Hexane (99%+) ExcelaR denotes a higher purity level (99%+) with tighter specifications and lower impurity levels compared to technical grade N-Hexane. The ExcelaR grade is specifically manufactured for analytical, research, and other sensitive laboratory applications where trace impurities could interfere with experimental results, unlike technical grade which is suited for less demanding industrial uses.
5. How should N-Hexane waste be disposed of?
N-Hexane waste must be disposed of in accordance with all local, state, and national regulations for hazardous chemical waste. It should never be poured down the drain. Collect waste in approved containers and contact a licensed chemical waste disposal service for proper handling and disposal.
