Description

High purity and versatile solvent suitable for HPLC, spectrophotometry, and pesticide residue analysis

Screened for fluorescing contaminants, and UV-absorbing contaminants in the 190-254nm range, to reduce interferences for smoother baselines
Tested for HPLC gradient suitability
Tested to ensure minimum halogenated residue levels (≤10 ng/L) to demonstrate suitability for pesticide analysis
Also meets ACS specifications
Intended for research use only
