FAQs
1. What is the primary application of this Water with 0.1% Trifluoroacetic Acid?
This product is primarily used in Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) applications. The 0.1% TFA acts as a modifier to improve separation and ionization efficiency for various analytes, crucial for accurate analysis.
2. Why is LCMS grade essential for this solvent?
LCMS grade ensures ultra-high purity with extremely low levels of metal ions, organic impurities, and particulates. This minimizes background noise, prevents interference with sensitive detectors, and maintains the integrity of chromatographic columns, leading to more reliable and reproducible data.
3. Can this product be used with all types of LCMS instruments?
Yes, this Water with 0.1% Trifluoroacetic Acid is designed for general compatibility with most LCMS systems that require TFA as a mobile phase additive. However, always consult your instrument’s manufacturer guidelines and your specific application’s requirements.
4. How should I store this LCMS grade solvent to maintain its quality?
For optimal quality, store the product in its original tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This prevents contamination and maintains the integrity of the solution.
5. Are there any alternative solvents if 0.1% TFA is not suitable for my specific analyte?
While 0.1% TFA is widely used, alternatives like formic acid or acetic acid at varying concentrations may be considered depending on the analyte’s properties and the specific LCMS method. It is recommended to consult literature or method development guides for suitable alternatives.
