Product Overview
Silica Gel HF 254 is a premium chromatographic adsorbent designed for high-resolution Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) applications. This specialized grade is distinguished by the inclusion of a UV254 fluorescent indicator, which allows for the easy visualization of separated compounds under ultraviolet light, even those that do not absorb UV light intrinsically. Crafted without calcium sulfate (CaSO) as a binder, this silica gel offers exceptional purity and ensures minimal interference with your analytical results. Its fine, uniform particle size distribution contributes significantly to the formation of highly stable and homogeneous TLC layers, which are crucial for achieving sharp separations and reproducible data. Researchers and students rely on its consistent performance for qualitative and quantitative analysis across various fields, including organic chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical analysis. The high surface area and porous structure of the silica gel facilitate optimal adsorption and desorption processes, leading to superior chromatographic resolution. eqipped ensures this product meets stringent quality standards, providing a reliable and essential reagent for your demanding laboratory experiments and analytical needs, supporting accurate and precise investigations. This robust and versatile silica gel is an indispensable tool for efficient and effective chromatographic separations.
FAQs
1. What is Silica Gel HF 254 primarily used for?
Silica Gel HF 254 is primarily used for Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) to separate, identify, and quantify components in complex mixtures. The HF 254 indicator helps visualize compounds under UV light.
2. Does “without CaSO” affect its performance in TLC?
Yes, “without CaSO” means it is binder-free. This often results in a purer adsorbent layer, minimizing potential interference from the binder and offering enhanced resolution and separation efficiency compared to formulations containing CaSO.
3. Can this silica gel be used with all types of TLC plates?
Silica Gel HF 254 is primarily designed for preparing custom TLC plates in the laboratory. While it can be used to coat various substrates, compatibility depends on the specific plate material and coating technique.
4. What are the recommended storage conditions for this product?
For optimal performance and longevity, store Silica Gel HF 254 in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage prevents degradation and maintains its adsorptive properties.
5. How does eqipped ensure the quality of its Silica Gel HF 254?
eqipped maintains stringent quality control measures, including rigorous testing for particle size distribution, purity, and chromatographic performance. Each batch is inspected to ensure it meets high standards for reliable laboratory use.
