Hexane 95% for GC is a high-purity aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent specifically formulated for gas chromatography (GC) applications, ensuring minimal interference in analytical results. It is used as a sample diluent, extraction solvent and syringe rinse in GC work due to its low polarity and excellent solvent properties. Beyond chromatography, hexane is widely used to extract edible oils from oilseeds, as a reaction medium for olefin polymerization, and in adhesive formulations and industrial degreasing. This product meets stringent purity requirements for chromatographic analysis, with a minimum assay of 95% hexane. CAS 110-54-3, molecular formula C6H14, molecular weight 86.18. Store at ambient temperature in a well-ventilated area; handle with care—signal word: Danger. Molekula supplies Hexane 95% for GC from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
