Product Overview
Ethyl acetate, 99.5% pure and HPLC-grade, is a high-quality solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications where precision and consistency are critical. This grade ensures minimal UV absorbance, making it ideal for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and other analytical techniques requiring ultra-pure reagents. The solvent is manufactured under strict quality controls to eliminate impurities, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in sensitive analyses. Its low water content and high volatility further enhance its suitability for extraction processes and sample preparation. The chemical’s stability and compatibility with a wide range of organic compounds make it a versatile choice for laboratories requiring high-purity solvents. Packaged in airtight containers to prevent contamination, this ethyl acetate maintains its integrity throughout storage and use. Whether used as a mobile phase in chromatography or as a solvent in synthesis, its consistent performance ensures accuracy in experimental outcomes.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of HPLC-grade ethyl acetate?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, HPLC-grade ethyl acetate typically retains its purity for 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this ethyl acetate be used for GC-MS applications?
While primarily designed for HPLC, this grade’s high purity also makes it suitable for GC-MS applications where low impurity levels are required.
3. Is this solvent compatible with plastic containers?
Ethyl acetate can degrade certain plastics over time. For long-term storage, use glass or HDPE containers to maintain purity.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling this chemical?
Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors.
5. How does this compare to reagent-grade ethyl acetate?
HPLC-grade ethyl acetate undergoes additional purification steps to remove UV-absorbing impurities, making it superior for sensitive analytical techniques compared to standard reagent-grade solvents.
