FAQs
What makes Methanol HPLC Grade suitable for chromatography?
Methanol is widely used in routine HPLC analysis due to its high purity (≥99.5%), low residue, and stable baselines. Its low UV cut-off ensures reliable detection and minimizes interference during separation.
Can Methanol HPLC Grade be used in Gas Chromatography (GC)?
No. While Methanol is excellent for HPLC and ACS applications, it is not recommended for Gas Chromatography or highly critical HPLC work. Specialized GC-grade solvents are better suited for that purpose.
How should Methanol HPLC Grade be stored?
Methanol should be kept in tightly sealed, amber glass or fluorinated poly containers in a cool, well-ventilated area. It is flammable and should be stored away from heat, sparks, or open flames.
Is Methanol safe for pharmaceutical use?
This Methanol product may be used as a process solvent or excipient in pharmaceutical manufacturing. However, it is not approved as an active ingredient or disinfectant and must only be used according to regulatory guidelines.
Who typically uses Methanol HPLC Grade?
Methanol is commonly used by research labs, quality control labs, pharmaceutical manufacturers, chemical synthesis facilities, and industries requiring high-purity solvents for analysis and production.
