Description
Silica gel 60 with particle size 0,04–0,063 mm (400–230 mesh) is a fine chromatography sorbent, CAS number 7631-86-9, empirical formula SiO₂. Molar mass is 60,09 g/mol and density ranges from 2,1 to 2,2 g/cm³. The narrower particle cut supports higher resolution packing in flash and gravity columns compared with coarser silica grades. This is suited to method development, small-scale purifications, and analytical separations of organic compounds in research and industrial laboratories. Silica gel 60 remains a core stationary phase for normal-phase chromatography, isolation of intermediates, and clean-up of reaction mixtures. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH, the product integrates easily into existing chromatography workflows that specify 230–400 mesh silica. Use appropriate column dimensions and solvent systems for the target separation, and review safety guidance before handling dry powder or solvent-wetted beds.

Questions about Silica gel 60, 0,04-0,063 mm (400-230 mesh), 250 g, plastic
What is this article?
Silica gel 60, 0,04-0,063 mm (400-230 mesh), 250 g, plastic 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 Chromatographie.
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 Chromatographie.
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.
