Description

High purity and versatile solvent suitable for HPLC, spectrophotometry, GC/MS, and pesticide residue analysis

  • Mixture of hexanes where n-hexane content is ≥60%
  • Screened for fluorescing and UV-absorbing contaminants to reduce interferences for smoother baselines
  • Tested by GC-ECD to ensure minimum halogenated residue levels (≤10 ng/L) to demonstrate suitability for pesticide analysis and tested for GC/MS suitability
  • Also meets ACS specifications
  • Intended for research use only
