General description

Hexane is a high-purity, non-polar solvent widely used in analytical chromatography due to its volatility, low UV absorbance, and compatibility with mass spectrometry and gas-phase detection systems. It ensures minimal background interference, making it ideal for trace-level analysis in complex matrices.

Application

HX0295P-1 is packaged in poly coated glass bottles
Hexane may be used as:
  • An extraction and carrier solvent for volatile organic compounds and essential oils, enabling high-resolution separation and quantification via gas chromatography.
  • A solvent in normal-phase HPLC for the separation of hydrophobic compounds, especially in pharmaceutical and food analysis.

Packaging

M-Bottle for Solvents
As a global leader in lab reagents, we are constantly looking for new ways to optimize the safety of our products. The newly developed 4L solvent bottle design features advanced sealing technology that eliminates leaks to make the handling of solvents safer and more convenient than ever before.
