FAQs
What is the difference between anhydrous and regular acetonitrile?
Anhydrous acetonitrile has less than 0.005% water content, making it ideal for moisture-sensitive applications like HPLC and organic synthesis. Regular acetonitrile may contain higher water levels, which can affect results.
Can I use this acetonitrile for LC-MS applications?
Yes, the 99.5% purity and low water content make it suitable for LC-MS. It minimizes ion suppression and background noise, ensuring accurate mass spectrometry data.
How should I store acetonitrile to maintain its purity?
Store it in a tightly sealed bottle in a cool, dry place. Use a desiccant in the storage area to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid prolonged exposure to air.
Is this acetonitrile compatible with all HPLC columns?
It works with most reverse-phase HPLC columns, including C18 and C8. However, always check column manufacturer guidelines for solvent compatibility.
What is the shelf life of anhydrous acetonitrile?
When stored properly, it has a shelf life of 2-3 years. Over time, it may absorb moisture, so it’s best to use it within 12 months of opening for critical applications.
