| General description: | The product is an acetonitrile solution containing 40.0% 2-propanol, 0.05% formic acid, 10.0% acetone. This pre-blended solvent is of high purity that reduces time-consuming preparation and prevents instrument downtime because of impure mobile phases. Acetonitrile (MeCN), an organic solvent has low viscosity, high elution strength and is UV transparent at low wavelength. |
| Packaging: | 4×4 L in PVC-coated bottle |
