General description

Hexanes are a group of hydrocarbon compoundscommonly used in chromatography as a solvent. They are volatile and have lowboiling points, making them suitable for separating and analyzing varioussubstances, including those in the oil industry.

Application

Hexanes can be used to analyze the:

  • Fatty acids derived from lipid A using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
  • MPs(membrane proteins) using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
