About Lindane

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Lindane, a high-purity reference standard of Hexachlorocyclohexane registered under CAS number 58-89-9. Its molecular formula is C6H6Cl6 and its molecular weight is 290.8 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane. Alternative names: Hexachlorocyclohexane and Hexachloride, Benzene.

The product is provided as a solid. Store the standard in its sealed vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage condition printed on the COA. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Laboratories use this Hexachlorocyclohexane standard for identity and assay testing, system suitability checks and method validation supporting ANDA and DMF filings. Typical end-use sectors are pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
