Description

Methanol HPLC Grade is a high-purity solvent designed for routine High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) applications. Packaged in a four-liter amber glass bottle within a protective fiber box, it provides consistent performance with low residue after evaporation, low UV cut-offs, and stable baselines.

SWhile ideal for standard HPLC and ACS applications, it is not intended for Gas Chromatography (GC) or highly critical HPLC analysis. Methanol is a versatile, flammable liquid used in chemical synthesis, laboratory analysis, and industrial processes such as producing formaldehyde and blending fuel additives like gasohol and MTBE.

Key Features

  • HPLC and ACS grade methanol for routine laboratory use
  • ≥99.5% assay purity for consistent results
  • Packaged in 1-gallon fluorinated poly bottles (4 per case)
  • Low UV cut-off for stable chromatography baselines
  • Ships within 24 hours from CA warehouse
  • Amber glass packaging for light protection

Common Applications

  • Routine HPLC analysis (general use, non-critical work)
  • Solvent in chemical synthesis (e.g., formaldehyde production)
  • Gasoline additive blending (gasohol, MTBE)
  • Cleaning and disinfecting laboratory equipment
  • Solvent in pharmaceutical manufacturing (as an excipient or process solvent)

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.
