Cyclohexane for HPLC is a non-polar solvent widely used as a mobile phase component in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for separating non-polar and medium-polarity compounds. It is also employed in analytical chemistry and sample preparation due to its low UV cutoff and compatibility with various detectors. More broadly, cyclohexane serves as a key raw material for nylon intermediates such as adipic acid and caprolactam, and as a solvent for resins, oils, waxes and lacquers. This product has a CAS number of 110-82-7, molecular formula C6H12, and a molecular weight of 84.16. It is stored at ambient conditions and carries a "Danger" signal word. Molekula supplies Cyclohexane for HPLC from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
