Spectrum Chemical Mfg. has announced the launch of a new line of solvents and solvent blends for liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). These high purity products feature ultra low levels of organics, metals, and particulates, and are specially tested for LC/MS suitability to ensure minimal ionization suppression and superior performance. Trace impurity specifications are among the lowest in the industry, and do not exceed 5 parts per billion (ppb) for many elements.
Spectrum views these products as natural extensions of its high purity solvent line, which includes specialized solvents for many analytical techniques, including high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), spectroscopy, pesticide residue analysis, and biological synthesis and purification.
"These new LC/MS solvents fill a gap in our product offering, and now allow us to address customer needs in almost every analytical applications space", says Arnie Aistars, Chemicals Product Manager at Spectrum. A total of 3 new pure solvents (acetonitrile, methanol & water) and 4 solvent blends (acetonitrile/TFA, acetonitrile/formic acid, water/TFA & water/formic acid) are now available from Spectrum in convenient 1 L bottles and 6 x 1 L cases.
