N-HEPTANE FOR LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY LICH (C15-1214-996)

General description

LiChrosolv^® solvents exhibit high degree of UV transmittance, low particle count, low acidity and alkalinity and low evaporation residue level. This makes them suitable for reproducible separations.

Application

Intended for U/HPLC and LC-MS/MS applications.
Also reported for use as a component of extraction mixture in screening drugs of abuse in urine samples by GC-MS.

Features and Benefits

• suitability tested and specified for UHPLC-MS and UHPLC-UV: for analytical flexibility
• specified quality in positive and negative electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) for lowest detection limits and confidence in analyses in all important MS modes (test 1)

—ESI/APCI (+) < 2 ppb
—ESI/APCI (-) < 10 ppb

• lowest impurity profile: for interference-free baselines (test 2)
• microfiltered through 0.2 μm filter (test 3) to provide:

—a long lifespan to filters and mechanical parts of HPLC systems
—reduced risk of column clogging

• packaged in borosilicate glass bottles for minimized contamination with metal ions
• lowest levels of trace metal impurities to minimize metal ion adduct formation

—<5ppb

• lowest level of polyethylene glycol (PEG) impurities in UHPLC-MS solvent lineup (PEG S/N signal-to-noise-ratio < 50)
