FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of ACETONITRILE 99.8% when stored properly?

When stored in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and direct sunlight, ACETONITRILE 99.8% typically retains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Regularly check for signs of contamination or evaporation.

2. Is this ACETONITRILE compatible with standard HPLC systems?

Yes, this HPLC-grade ACETONITRILE is fully compatible with most HPLC and UHPLC systems. Its low UV cutoff and minimal impurity profile ensure reliable chromatographic performance without baseline drift or ghost peaks.

3. Can this solvent be used as a substitute for methanol in DNA extraction?

While ACETONITRILE is effective in certain DNA extraction protocols, it is not a direct substitute for methanol due to differences in polarity and solubility properties. Always follow protocol-specific recommendations for optimal results.

4. How should ACETONITRILE 99.8% be handled to prevent contamination?

Use clean, dry glassware or PTFE-lined containers to avoid moisture absorption. Work in a fume hood to minimize exposure to vapors, and avoid prolonged contact with air to prevent oxidation or hydration.

5. What alternatives are available if ACETONITRILE is unavailable for DNA synthesis?

For DNA synthesis, alternatives like dimethylformamide (DMF) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) may be considered, though their compatibility depends on the specific application. Consult your protocol or supplier for suitable replacements.
