Why This Acetonitrile Stands Out
Not all acetonitrile is created equal. This LC-MS grade variant undergoes rigorous purification to remove contaminants that could interfere with mass spectrometry or chromatography. The 99.9% purity level means fewer background signals and cleaner chromatograms, saving you time on troubleshooting.
Its low water content (typically <0.05%) prevents peak tailing in reverse-phase HPLC, while the absence of stabilizers ensures no unexpected interactions with your analytes. For labs working with sensitive compounds like proteins or small molecules, this solvent provides the clean baseline you need for confident results.
Common Applications
From academic research to industrial quality control, this acetonitrile finds use in:
- High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) mobile phases
- Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) sample preparation
- Protein and peptide analysis
- Environmental testing for pesticides and pollutants
- Pharmaceutical drug development and purity testing
Students working on thesis projects will appreciate its reliability for reproducible results, while professional labs value its batch-to-batch consistency. The solvent’s compatibility with most HPLC columns and detectors makes it a versatile choice for diverse analytical needs.
Safety and Handling
While acetonitrile is less toxic than many organic solvents, proper handling remains crucial. Always use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood. Wear appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and safety goggles. Store in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources, as it is highly flammable.
For disposal, follow your institution’s chemical waste protocols. Never pour down drains or mix with other solvents unless specified in approved procedures. eqipped recommends keeping an MSDS sheet accessible in your lab for quick reference during emergencies.
FAQs
What makes LC-MS grade acetonitrile different from regular HPLC grade?
LC-MS grade undergoes additional purification to remove ions and particles that could interfere with mass spectrometry detection. It has stricter specifications for metal content and UV transparency compared to standard HPLC grade.
Can I use this acetonitrile for DNA/RNA extraction?
While primarily designed for chromatography, its high purity makes it suitable for nucleic acid precipitation protocols. However, always verify compatibility with your specific extraction kit’s requirements.
How should I store opened bottles of acetonitrile?
Tightly seal the bottle after each use and store in a dedicated flammable solvent cabinet. Exposure to air can lead to moisture absorption, which may affect performance in sensitive applications.
What’s the typical shelf life of unopened acetonitrile?
When stored properly in original packaging, it maintains specifications for 2-3 years. Always check the manufacturer’s expiration date and perform quality checks if using for critical applications.
Does eqipped offer smaller pack sizes for occasional users?
Currently, we stock the 1000 ml size for this product. For smaller quantities, consider our other HPLC-grade solvents or contact our team for bulk pricing options if you anticipate future needs.
