Product Overview

1-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidinone (NMP) Reference Standard is a high-purity, HPLC-grade solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications. This colorless to pale yellow liquid offers excellent solvency power, making it ideal for use in analytical chemistry, chromatography, and various research processes. Its low volatility and high boiling point ensure stability during extended procedures, while its miscibility with water and organic solvents enhances versatility in complex formulations. The reference-grade purity guarantees consistent, reliable results in quantitative analyses, particularly in HPLC and GC applications. This solvent is also valued for its ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and non-polar compounds, making it indispensable in sample preparation and purification workflows. The 100 ml packaging provides an optimal balance between sufficient quantity for repeated use and convenient storage. As a reference standard, this NMP variant undergoes rigorous quality control to meet strict laboratory specifications, ensuring minimal impurities that could interfere with sensitive analytical techniques.

FAQs

1. What is the typical shelf life of this 1-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidinone reference standard?

The product maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months when stored unopened in its original container under recommended conditions. After opening, use within 12 months for optimal performance.

2. Can this NMP standard be used directly in HPLC applications without further purification?

Yes, this HPLC-grade reference standard is specifically purified to meet the requirements of high-performance liquid chromatography and can be used directly without additional treatment.

3. What are the recommended storage conditions for maintaining product integrity?

Store the container tightly sealed at room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.

4. How does this reference standard differ from technical-grade NMP?

This reference standard undergoes additional purification steps to achieve higher purity levels (typically >99.9%) and stricter quality control compared to technical-grade NMP, which may contain higher impurity levels.

5. What safety precautions should be observed when handling this solvent?

Always use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and safety goggles, and avoid skin contact or inhalation of vapors.
