Product Overview
2-Methoxyethanol, HPLC-grade, is a high-purity solvent specifically designed for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) applications. This solvent undergoes rigorous purification processes to ensure minimal impurities, making it ideal for sensitive analytical techniques where precision and reproducibility are critical. Its low UV absorbance and consistent composition enhance chromatographic resolution, reducing baseline noise and improving peak separation. The solvent’s stability under varying temperature conditions ensures reliable performance across different laboratory environments. Its compatibility with most HPLC systems and columns makes it a versatile choice for routine and specialized analytical workflows. The absence of interfering contaminants guarantees accurate quantification and qualitative analysis, supporting high-throughput applications in research and quality control settings. This HPLC-grade 2-Methoxyethanol is packaged in high-quality containers to prevent degradation and maintain purity throughout its shelf life.
FAQs
1. Is this 2-Methoxyethanol suitable for gradient HPLC methods?
Yes, this HPLC-grade solvent is compatible with gradient elution techniques due to its consistent composition and low impurity profile.
2. What is the typical shelf life of this solvent when stored properly?
When stored in tightly sealed original containers at room temperature, the solvent maintains its specifications for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
3. Can this be used as a mobile phase modifier in reverse-phase HPLC?
Yes, it can serve as a mobile phase modifier, particularly for improving selectivity in reverse-phase separations of polar compounds.
4. What precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?
Always use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles, and avoid skin contact due to its potential irritant properties.
5. How does this compare to spectrophotometric-grade 2-Methoxyethanol?
HPLC-grade has stricter impurity controls for chromatographic applications, while spectrophotometric grade prioritizes UV transparency for absorbance measurements.
