Florisil® is a hard powdered magnesia-silica gel manufactured in the United States by U.S. Silica Company. It is often referred to as “activated magnesium silicate” or “magnesia-silica gel”. As a highly selective adsorbent, Florisil® is frequently employed in the following areas of preparative and analytical chromatography:
- Extraction of steroids, sex hormones and related compounds
- Separation of lipids (including monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, free fatty acids, free sterols and cholesterol esters)
- Decolourisation of fats, oils and waxes
- Purification and isolation of alkaloid natural products by column chromatography
- Separation of nitrogen-containing compounds from hydrocarbons
- Cleanup of pesticide residues and purification of chlorine-containing pesticides
- Separation of aromatic compounds from aliphatic-aromatic mixtures
- Purification of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)
- Isolation of antibiotics
- Assay of vitamins
Our Florisil® is manufactured in the United States. It it available in a variety of particle size or mesh grades that are suited for column chromatography. The most common Florisil® grades in academia and industry are mesh finer than 200 (>200) and mesh 100 – 200.
