FAQs
What is the mesh size of this silica gel, and why does it matter?
The 60-200 mesh size refers to the particle diameter range, which affects surface area and flow rate. This range is ideal for chromatography as it balances efficient separation with reasonable flow rates.
Is this silica gel suitable for food or pharmaceutical applications?
While this is a high-purity reagent grade, it is not certified for direct food or pharmaceutical use. For such applications, consider USP or food-grade silica gel.
How should I store silica gel to maintain its effectiveness?
Store in an airtight container away from moisture. If exposed to humidity, reactivate by heating at 105°C for 2 hours before reuse.
Can I use this silica gel for drying solvents?
Yes, this grade is excellent for drying organic solvents. Add a small amount to the solvent, swirl, and filter before use.
What’s the difference between indicator and non-indicator silica gel?
This product is non-indicator silica gel. Indicator types change color when saturated with moisture, while non-indicator variants like this one do not.
