Product Overview
Acetonitrile Preparative HPLC is a high-purity solvent designed for demanding chromatographic applications, ensuring superior peak resolution and minimal interference. This ultra-low UV-absorbing solvent is meticulously distilled to meet stringent HPLC-grade standards, making it ideal for preparative-scale separations where purity and consistency are critical. Its low viscosity and excellent solvating power enhance column efficiency, reducing analysis time while maintaining peak integrity. The solvent undergoes rigorous quality control to eliminate impurities like water, acids, and aldehydes, which could compromise chromatographic performance. Compatible with most stationary phases, it delivers reproducible results across a wide range of analytical workflows. The 2.5 L packaging provides an optimal balance between bulk efficiency and storage convenience, minimizing solvent waste while ensuring long-term stability. Whether used as a mobile phase component or for sample dilution, this acetonitrile variant maintains its high performance even under gradient elution conditions, making it a reliable choice for laboratories prioritizing accuracy and reproducibility.
FAQs
1. What is the water content in this HPLC-grade acetonitrile?
This acetonitrile is processed to contain less than 0.01% water, ensuring minimal interference in sensitive chromatographic applications.
2. Can this solvent be used with reverse-phase HPLC columns?
Yes, it is fully compatible with C18 and other reverse-phase columns, offering optimal peak shapes and retention times.
3. How should this acetonitrile be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container under nitrogen gas if possible, away from direct sunlight and moisture, at room temperature.
4. Is this acetonitrile suitable for LC-MS applications?
While primarily designed for HPLC, its high purity makes it adaptable for LC-MS, though specialized LC-MS-grade solvents are recommended for best results.
5. What alternatives exist if this acetonitrile is unavailable?
For preparative HPLC, methanol or isopropanol can be considered, though they may require method adjustments due to differing polarity and UV cutoff.
