Product Overview
Dichloromethane HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® is a high-purity solvent specifically formulated for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and other demanding analytical applications. This HPLC-grade dichloromethane is manufactured under stringent quality controls to ensure minimal impurities, low UV absorbance, and exceptional batch-to-batch consistency, making it ideal for sensitive chromatographic separations. The solvent undergoes rigorous testing to meet HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® standards, guaranteeing reproducibility in critical lab workflows. Its low residue profile and high evaporation rate further enhance its suitability for trace analysis, sample preparation, and solvent extraction processes. The solvent is packaged in amber glass bottles or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers to prevent degradation from light exposure, ensuring long-term stability. Whether used as a mobile phase component or for sample dilution, this dichloromethane delivers reliable performance, reducing baseline noise and improving peak resolution in HPLC systems. Its compatibility with a wide range of detectors, including UV-Vis and mass spectrometry, makes it a versatile choice for modern laboratories. The solvent’s high chemical stability and resistance to oxidation ensure prolonged shelf life without compromising analytical integrity.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® and standard HPLC-grade dichloromethane?
HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® undergoes additional purification steps and stricter quality checks compared to standard HPLC-grade solvents, resulting in lower impurity levels, reduced UV absorbance, and tighter specifications for chromatographic consistency. This makes it particularly suitable for high-sensitivity applications where baseline stability is critical.
2. Can this dichloromethane be used with gradient HPLC systems?
Yes, this solvent is fully compatible with gradient HPLC systems. Its low viscosity and high purity minimize pressure fluctuations during gradient elution, ensuring smooth transitions and reproducible retention times across complex separations.
3. What precautions should be taken when storing this solvent?
Store the solvent in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ignition points. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation. Amber glass or HDPE packaging is recommended to protect against light-induced degradation.
4. Is this dichloromethane suitable for residue analysis in food or environmental samples?
Yes, its ultra-low impurity profile and high evaporation rate make it ideal for residue analysis in food safety testing, environmental monitoring, and pharmaceutical quality control, where trace-level detection is required.
5. Are there any known incompatibilities with common HPLC column stationary phases?
This solvent is compatible with most reversed-phase (C18, C8) and normal-phase HPLC columns. However, prolonged exposure to bare silica columns may require equilibration checks, as dichloromethane can sometimes interact with silanol groups in unmodified silica.
