Description
Activated charcoal powder is elemental carbon with empirical formula C, CAS number 7440-44-0, molar mass 12,01 g/mol and density 2,31 g/cm³. Phosphoric-activated and supplied as a fine powder for decolourisation, it is used to remove colour bodies and unwanted organic impurities from solutions in chemical, pharmaceutical and analytical laboratory work. The high surface area typical of activated carbon supports adsorptive clean-up steps prior to further processing or analysis. Its defined carbon identity and physical data allow straightforward integration into existing protocols for filtration, clarification and purification workflows. Suitable for general laboratory use where a phosphoric-activated powder grade is specified for decolourising duties.

Questions about Charcoal activated, powder, f. decolourisation, phosphoric activated, 500 g
What is this article?
Charcoal activated, powder, f. decolourisation, phosphoric activated, 500 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Sorbents, silica gel & ion exchangers, inside SPE & sample preparation, in Chromatography equipment.
Loose sorbent, silica gel and ion-exchange resin are the phases bought in bulk to pack a column or to stir into a solution. Particle size and activity, or the ion-exchange capacity, are the specification. A TLC silica and a flash silica of different particle sizes are not the same separation.
Solid-phase extraction holds a compound on a sorbent while the rest of the sample is washed away, then releases it in a small volume. The sorbent, the bed mass and the solvents are the method. Silica, ion exchangers and polymer phases do different jobs. A flash column is the same idea scaled toward purification rather than trace cleanup. The molecules are on PubChem, named by IUPAC.
Which category should I open next?
The category is SPE & sample preparation. The sub-category is Sorbents, silica gel & ion exchangers. The catalogue is Chromatography equipment.
Shelves beside this one are SPE cartridges & columns and Flash, empty & glass chromatography columns.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
