N-Hexane or Hexane?

[cilocyber]

Probably doesn't matter which of these my tall friend uses but there seems to be conflicting advice on the forums about their pulling abilities and toxicity values?

Hexane is just much cheaper and would like to use that if possible.

Anyone got the bottom line?

Thanks again guys.

hexane isn't particularly toxic, but it is an ideal crystallization solvent.

While they are some differences, I think that for our purposes it really doesn't matter, nor in yield nor in toxicity.

Questions
Heptane is it best for re-x or pulls? Does it precip ok or better for evaporating? And it can be saved for subsequent pulls there after?
It is acts like naphtha but is a cleaner crystal and is best solvent for re-x, correct?

 

[benzyme]

yes.
