I-N-Heptane (igama lesiNgisi elithi n-Heptane) iwuketshezi olungenambala, oluguquguqukayo. Isetshenziswa kakhulu njengendinganiso yokunqunywa kwenombolo ye-octane, futhi ingasetshenziswa njengesibulala-zinzwa, isinyibilikisi, impahla eluhlaza ye-organic synthesis, kanye nokulungiselela i-reagent yokuhlola.
I-Heptane kufanele igcinwe endaweni epholile, nengena umoya. Gcina kude nomlilo nokushisa. Izinga lokushisa le-reservoir akufanele lidlule ku-30 ° C. Gcina isitsha sivaliwe. kufanele igcinwe kude ne-oxidizer, ungagcini ndawonye. Kusetshenziswa izibani ezingaqhumi futhi zokungenisa umoya. Akuvunyelwe ukusebenzisa imishini namathuluzi ajwayele ukuvela izinhlansi. Indawo yokugcina kufanele ifakwe okokusebenza okuphuthumayo okuvuzayo kanye nezinto ezifanele zokuphatha.
