Overview
T-12™ is an acid-activated, washed calcium bentonite clay from Carbon Chemistry, and their best clay for removing pigments. Its expanded 5-200 µm particles give it a very large surface area, so it physically binds large molecules such as colour bodies, sugars, proteins, lipids and waxes.
Use it on its own, mixed with other media, or in layers to clarify extracts in polar alcohols or non-polar alkanes. It also works as a filter aid for solid particulates.

Questions
Which size should I choose?
Most labs use the 8 kg or 16 kg pail. The 110 kg drum is the best value per kilogram for production.
What pairs well with T-12?
Carbon Chemistry suggests T-5 as a base for depth filtration, Silica 60A for polar separation and Activated Alumina for polar compounds and lipids.

What customers say about our store
Quick and reliable service provided! - Scheduled an appointment with Wayne the other day for a Dry Ice order pick up, he will go over and above for his customers to make sure we are well taken care of. Even with a broken foot !
Thanks again Wayne!
You've got my business!
Wayne there has an excellent store, he has everything, really nice stuff at good prices, ultimately very fair compared to others. I will certainly be going back for everything I need. Got some things from a different place and spent 50% more, just go see Wayne first, he seems like he wants to help you out more than sell you out the door.
