Hexane

Hexane is a non-polar aliphatic hydrocarbon widely used as a solvent in pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, and chemical industries. It has the molecular formula C₆H₁₄, a molecular weight of 86.18 g/mol, and is identified by CAS No. 107-83-5. Due to its neurotoxicity and regulatory classification as a Class 2 residual solvent under ICH Q3C, hexane requires strict control and accurate quantification at low concentration levels.

Quantitative determination of hexane is routinely performed using gas chromatography (GC-FID or GC-MS). Reliable analysis depends on high-quality GC response factor standards and relative response factor GC standards, which ensure accurate quantification and consistent detector response. GC retention time standards are used to confirm analyte identity and chromatographic stability, while GC performance standards support system suitability testing and ongoing instrument monitoring. GC compliance standards play a critical role in demonstrating adherence to regulatory and quality requirements. The use of well-characterized hexane GC standards ensures reproducible results, strong method performance, and regulatory acceptance.

At Manasa Life Sciences, we provide high-purity hexane GC response factor standards, relative response factor GC standards, GC retention time standards, GC performance standards, and GC compliance standards, supported by technical expertise in method development, validation, and regulatory alignment. Our solutions help laboratories achieve accurate hexane determination and maintain confidence in regulatory compliance.
