General description

Hexane, mixture of isomers is a high purity solvent primarily of hexane isomers and methylcyclopentane. It is a non-polar solvent optimized for analytical chromatography. Its low boiling point and minimal UV absorbance make it ideal for gas chromatography (GC) applications, particularly in the analysis of hydrophobic and volatile organic compounds.

Application

  • Used as a carrier or extraction solvent in GC analysis of hydrocarbons, pesticides, and environmental pollutants, where the presence of hexane isomers enhances volatility and separation efficiency.
  • Used in pharmaceutical and food testing workflows to extract non-polar analytes prior to GC-FID or GC-MS detection.
for GC analyses, Non-UV OmniSolv®
