Product Overview
Acetonitrile anhydrous (≤10 ppm H2O) is a high-purity, water-free solvent designed for critical laboratory applications requiring minimal moisture interference. This ACS reagent-grade solvent undergoes rigorous purification to ensure consistency, making it suitable for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Its low water content prevents peak distortion in chromatographic separations, while its excellent solvent properties dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. The solvent is stabilized to resist peroxide formation, extending shelf life without compromising performance. Packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, it maintains purity during storage and transport. Compatible with most lab-grade plastics and glassware, this acetonitrile variant eliminates the need for additional drying steps, saving time in sample preparation. Its low viscosity and volatility enable rapid evaporation, reducing residue formation in analytical workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the maximum allowable water content in this acetonitrile?
The water content is strictly controlled to ≤10 ppm, verified through Karl Fischer titration for each batch.
2. Can this solvent be used with PTFE or polypropylene labware?
Yes, it is fully compatible with PTFE, polypropylene, and borosilicate glass containers under standard lab conditions.
3. How should I store unopened bottles to maintain purity?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight at 15–25°C. Keep the original cap tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
4. What alternatives exist for applications requiring even lower water content?
For ultra-trace analysis, consider acetonitrile with ≤2 ppm H2O or spectroscopic-grade variants with specialized packaging.
5. Does this product contain any stabilizers or additives?
It contains trace amounts of amylene as a stabilizer to inhibit peroxide formation, as per ACS specifications.
