VWR Silica gel 60, irregular 60 - 200 µm for flash chromatography

VWR Silica Gel 60 is a high-quality, irregular-shaped silica stationary phase with a particle size range of 60–200 µm, optimized for use in flash chromatography. Engineered to deliver efficient separations, this silica gel offers excellent flow characteristics, consistent particle size distribution, and optimal surface area for effective compound isolation and purification.

With tight quality control and low fines content, this silica gel ensures reproducibility, scalability, and performance in both research and industrial chromatographic applications.

Key Features and Benefits

• Irregular particle shape (60–200 µm) ideal for normal-phase flash chromatography
• Narrow particle size distribution (≤5% <63 µm, ≤5% >200 µm) ensures optimal flow and resolution
• Consistent tapped bulk density (460–550 g/L) for uniform column packing
• Low moisture content (loss on drying ≤4%) enhances reproducibility and stability
• Neutral pH range (6.5–7.5) for compatibility with a wide range of organic solvents
• Suitable for manual and automated flash chromatography systems

Typical Applications

• Organic synthesis compound purification
• Flash chromatography for reaction monitoring
• Natural product isolation
• Drug discovery and medicinal chemistry workflows
• Fractionation of complex mixtures
• Purification of polar and nonpolar compounds under normal-phase conditions
