Description

General description

SupraSolv ECD and FID are specially developed for gas chromatography in combination with the ECD (Electron Capture Detector) and FID (Flame Ionization Detector). SupraSolv solvents offer the largest specified retention time range, a clear baseline, and a minimal signal-to-noise ratio, leading to reliable and reproducible analysis results.

Application

Methanol is used as a:

• Solvent for preparing samples for GC/MS analysis of pyrolysis oil.
• Component of the solvent mixture used to extract oil samples.

Other Notes

Explore various lab safety accessories and equipment for safe handling of solvents to increase your safety level from the first usage.
