Product Overview

Benzyl alcohol HPLC grade is a high-purity solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications where precision and consistency are critical. With a minimum assay of 99.5%, this reagent-grade alcohol ensures minimal interference in analytical procedures, making it ideal for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and other sensitive techniques. Its low UV absorbance at 254 nm (<0.05 AU) and negligible residue content (<0.005%) guarantee reliable baseline stability and accurate peak resolution. The solvent is distilled under controlled conditions to eliminate trace impurities, including aldehydes, peroxides, and water, which could compromise experimental results. Its clear, colorless appearance and mild aromatic odor further confirm its high quality. Compatible with most organic solvents, this benzyl alcohol variant is packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, ensuring long-term stability. Whether used as a mobile phase modifier, extraction solvent, or standard reference material, its consistent batch-to-batch performance reduces variability in research outcomes. The product adheres to strict quality control protocols, including GC and HPLC testing, to meet international laboratory standards.

FAQs

1. What is the maximum allowable water content in this benzyl alcohol?

The water content is maintained below 0.1% (1000 ppm) as per HPLC-grade specifications, ensuring minimal interference in moisture-sensitive reactions.

2. Can this solvent be used with reverse-phase HPLC columns?

Yes, it is fully compatible with C18 and other reverse-phase columns when used within recommended concentration ranges (typically 1-10%).

3. How does this compare to ACS-grade benzyl alcohol?

HPLC grade offers stricter controls on UV-absorbing impurities and residual solvents compared to ACS grade, which prioritizes general chemical purity over chromatographic performance.
