Product Overview
This 0.4M tetrabutylammonium phosphate monobasic solution in acetonitrile is a high-purity HPLC-grade reagent specifically formulated for ion-pairing chromatography applications. The solution utilizes tetrabutylammonium as the counterion, which significantly enhances retention and separation of polar compounds in reversed-phase chromatography systems. The acetonitrile solvent base ensures compatibility with most LC-MS and HPLC workflows while maintaining optimal solubility. The AcroSeal® packaging guarantees contamination-free storage and precise volume dispensing. This reagent is particularly valuable for laboratories requiring consistent performance in analytical separations, where ion-pairing agents are critical for method development and validation. The solution’s concentration is optimized to provide reproducible results without requiring additional dilution for most standard protocols. Its stability under typical laboratory conditions makes it suitable for both routine analysis and specialized research applications.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this tetrabutylammonium phosphate solution?
The solution remains stable for 12 months when stored unopened at room temperature in its original packaging.
2. Can this solution be used with aqueous mobile phases?
Yes, it is compatible with aqueous mobile phases, though the acetonitrile content should be considered when designing gradient methods.
3. What precautions should be taken during handling?
Use standard laboratory safety measures including gloves and eye protection, and work in a fume hood due to acetonitrile volatility.
4. Is this solution suitable for LC-MS applications?
Yes, it is formulated to be LC-MS compatible with minimal background interference in mass spectrometry.
5. How should the solution be stored after opening?
After opening, reseal tightly and store at room temperature, protected from light and moisture.
