Why High-Purity Water Matters in Chromatography
Chromatography techniques like HPLC and LC-MS are highly sensitive to impurities. Even trace amounts of contaminants in water can lead to:
- Ghost peaks or baseline noise in chromatograms
- Reduced column lifespan due to buildup
- Inaccurate quantification of analytes
- Poor reproducibility between runs
Using chromatography-grade water eliminates these risks. This product is tested to ensure:
- Ultra-low organic carbon content
- Minimal ionic interference
- No bacterial or particulate contamination
- Consistent batch-to-batch performance
For students and researchers, this means fewer repeated experiments, clearer data, and more reliable conclusions. Educators can confidently demonstrate techniques without worrying about water quality affecting results.
Applications of Water For Chromatography Lichrosolv
This high-purity water is ideal for a wide range of laboratory applications, including:
- Preparing mobile phases for HPLC and LC-MS
- Diluting samples and standards
- Rinsing glassware and chromatography columns
- Buffer preparation for biochemical assays
- General lab use where ultra-pure water is required
Its versatility makes it a staple in academic labs, research institutions, and quality control facilities. Whether you’re analyzing pharmaceuticals, environmental samples, or food components, this water ensures your solvent doesn’t introduce artifacts into your data.
How to Store and Handle Chromatography-Grade Water
To maintain the integrity of your HPLC water grade, follow these best practices:
- Store the bottle tightly sealed at room temperature.
- Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Use clean, dedicated glassware to prevent contamination.
- Do not return unused portions to the original bottle.
- Check for any signs of turbidity or particulate matter before use.
Proper handling ensures the water remains free from contaminants that could compromise your experiments. Always use it within the recommended shelf life for optimal performance.
Risk Note
While this product is non-hazardous, always handle laboratory chemicals with care. Avoid ingestion or contact with eyes and skin. Use in a well-ventilated area and follow standard lab safety protocols. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and disposal instructions.

FAQs
What is the difference between chromatography-grade water and regular distilled water?
Chromatography-grade water undergoes additional purification steps to remove organic compounds, ions, and particles that distilled water may still contain. This makes it suitable for sensitive analytical techniques like HPLC and LC-MS, where even trace impurities can interfere with results.
Can I use this water for PCR or molecular biology applications?
While this water is ultra-pure, it is specifically formulated for chromatography. For PCR or molecular biology, we recommend nuclease-free water to avoid any risk of enzyme inhibition. However, it can be used for general lab tasks like buffer preparation.
How long can I store this water after opening?
Once opened, it’s best to use the water within a few weeks to minimize the risk of contamination. Always store it in a clean, tightly sealed container and avoid repeated opening to preserve purity.
Is this water compatible with all HPLC columns?
Yes, this high-purity water is designed to be compatible with all standard HPLC and LC-MS columns. Its low impurity profile helps extend column lifespan by reducing buildup and degradation.
Do I need to filter this water before use?
No, this water is pre-filtered and tested to meet chromatography standards. Additional filtration is unnecessary unless your specific protocol requires it. Always use clean labware to prevent introducing contaminants.
