Description

General description

For fast chromatography and LC-MS detection, LiChrosolv^® hypergrade, a family of solvents especially optimized and tested for LC-MS suitability is most suitable. LiChrosolv^® hypergrade solvents meet all the requirements of modern LC-MS ionization methods (ESI/ APCI – positive and negative mode). Due to their low level of ionic background and low ion suppression, LiChrosolv^® hypergrade solvents ensure high reproducibility and high ionization efficiency.

Application

LiChrosolv® hypergrade acetonitrile with 0.1% (v/v) formic acid is used as a mobile phase solvent in gradient elution of peptides by LC-MS/MS. The product is also featured in the method development for analysis of California list of pesticides in cannabis.

Features and Benefits

• microfiltered by 0.2 µm filter
• the most comprehensive application range due to the largest retention time range
• analytical reliability due to the highest possible purity and a minimum signal-to-noise ratio
• time and cost savings due to the best possible batch consistency, thus avoiding repetitive analysis
