General description

The product is an acetonitrile solution containing 0.1%v/v formic acid. This pre-blended mobile phase solvent is of high purity that reduces time-consuming preparation and prevents instrument downtime because of impure mobile phases. It can be employed for HPLC and UHPLC (Ultra High performance Liquid Chromatography) techniques. Acetonitrile (MeCN), an organic solvent has low viscosity, high elution strength and is UV transparent at low wavelength.

Application


  • Separation of ochratoxins by centrifugal partition chromatography: Demonstrates the critical role of 96% acetic acid in the separation of mycotoxins, enhancing food safety and quality control in agricultural products (Hegedüs et al., 2024).
