Why This Grade Matters
HPLC-grade solvents are purified to remove impurities that could interfere with analytical results. The addition of 0.1% water helps stabilize the solvent, preventing the formation of harmful byproducts over time. This ensures longer shelf life and more reliable data in your experiments.
For researchers working with sensitive instruments, using the right grade of acetonitrile is non-negotiable. This Merck product is tested to meet strict quality control standards, so you can focus on your work without worrying about solvent-related errors.
Safety and Handling
Acetonitrile is a flammable and toxic solvent. Always handle it in a well-ventilated fume hood, wearing appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat). Store in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources. Dispose of waste according to local regulations.

FAQs
1. What is the difference between HPLC-grade and regular acetonitrile?
HPLC-grade acetonitrile undergoes additional purification to remove UV-absorbing impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical techniques. Regular grades may contain contaminants that interfere with results.
2. Can this acetonitrile be used for DNA/RNA extraction?
Yes, but ensure compatibility with your specific protocol. Some DNA/RNA extraction methods require anhydrous acetonitrile, while others work well with this 0.1% water variant.
3. How should I store this solvent to maintain its quality?
Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
4. Is this product suitable for LC-MS applications?
Absolutely. The high purity and low impurity profile make it ideal for LC-MS, minimizing background noise and ion suppression.
5. What is the shelf life of this acetonitrile?
When stored properly, it typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years. Always check the manufacturer’s expiry date on the label.
