Product Overview
Silica gel, 60-120 mesh (LR grade), is a highly porous and granular form of silicon dioxide designed for column chromatography applications. Its uniform particle size distribution ensures consistent flow rates and high-resolution separations, making it a preferred choice for laboratory purification processes. The LR (Laboratory Reagent) grade guarantees a high level of purity, minimizing interference in analytical procedures. This silica gel exhibits excellent adsorption properties, effectively separating compounds based on polarity differences. Its robust chemical stability ensures compatibility with a wide range of solvents, while its high surface area maximizes interaction with analytes. Whether used in preparative or analytical chromatography, this silica gel delivers reliable performance, ensuring accurate and reproducible results. The 60-120 mesh size provides an optimal balance between flow rate and separation efficiency, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale applications. Store in a dry, airtight container to maintain its adsorption capacity and prevent moisture absorption.
FAQs
