Product Description
Silica gel (200-400 mesh) is a highly porous, granular form of silicon dioxide widely used in laboratories for chromatography, drying agents, and moisture control. Its uniform particle size and high surface area make it ideal for separating mixtures in column chromatography or as a desiccant in storage containers. Whether you’re a student setting up an experiment or a researcher refining a protocol, this laboratory-grade silica gel ensures consistent results.
At eqipped, we source silica gel from trusted manufacturers like CDH to guarantee purity and performance. The 200-400 mesh size is perfect for applications requiring fine particle distribution, such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC) or gas adsorption studies. Its inert nature and high adsorption capacity make it a staple in chemical labs across India.

Silica gel is also commonly used in packaging to prevent moisture damage, making it a versatile choice for both academic and industrial settings. Its non-toxic and non-corrosive properties ensure safe handling, though it should be stored in a dry environment to maintain efficacy. For chromatography applications, the 200-400 mesh size provides optimal flow rates and resolution, helping you achieve accurate separations every time.
When purchasing silica gel online, always check for laboratory-grade certification to avoid impurities that could skew your results. Eqipped offers bulk options (500 gm and 5 kg) to suit small-scale experiments or larger research projects. With our seamless ordering process, you can focus on your work while we handle the logistics.
FAQs
What is the difference between 200-400 mesh and other silica gel sizes?
The 200-400 mesh size refers to the particle diameter, with finer particles offering higher surface area. This makes it ideal for chromatography where precise separation is needed, whereas coarser mesh sizes are better for bulk desiccant applications.
Can this silica gel be reused after saturation?
Yes, silica gel can be regenerated by heating it to 120°C for 2-3 hours to remove absorbed moisture. However, repeated regeneration may reduce its efficacy over time.
Is this silica gel suitable for food-grade applications?
No, this is laboratory-grade silica gel and is not certified for food or pharmaceutical use. For food-grade desiccants, look for FDA-approved options.
How should I store silica gel to maintain its effectiveness?
Store in an airtight container with a moisture-proof seal. If using as a desiccant, replace it once it turns pink (if indicator-type) or when it no longer absorbs moisture efficiently.
Where can I buy silica gel online in India?
You can buy laboratory-grade silica gel (200-400 mesh) online at eqipped. We offer fast shipping across India with bulk discounts available.
