Product Description
SILICA GEL H is a high-purity adsorbent primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), available in irregular granular or powder form. With a neutral to slightly acidic pH level, it is widely used in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) as a stationary phase for precise chromatographic applications. This odorless and tasteless product offers exceptional adsorption capacity due to its high surface area and inert properties. Its molecular formula SiO2 nH2O and variable molecular weight ensure effective separation of complex mixtures. SILICA GEL H is insoluble in water and organic solvents, exhibiting a melting point of 1600C, making it suitable for diverse chromatography needs.
