Silica Gel for Column Chromatography

Silica gel for column chromatography also known as Chromatography Media, is made from high-quality silica gel, which is finely processed into high-purity white powder with a certain range of particle size distribution. It is widely used as column chromatography packing, catalyst carrier, and pharmaceutical intermediate in the pharmaceutical, chemical, plant extraction, and biochemical industries, etc. It can be divided into reagent grade and industrial grade.

Silica gel is a porous, granular form of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) that is commonly used as a stationary phase in column chromatography. Its high surface area and unique adsorption properties make it an ideal medium for separating complex mixtures. Silica gel used in column chromatography typically appears as a white, odorless powder with a slightly acidic nature.
