Why risk the success of your LC-MS analysis?

The demand for faster chemical analysis is constantly increasing. Taking advantage of techniques like, LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry) to speed your results means you need solvents with super high purity for efficient analyte ionisation. Merck’s LiChrosolv® hypergrade solvents provide that exceptionally high purity you demand.

Benefits of Merck’s high performance solvents
• High ionization efficiency
• Minimal baseline noise
• Low level of ionic background
• Superior resolution and sensitivity
• Reduced metal adduct formation

A new standard in solvents for LC-MS analysis
LC-MS analysis has the capability to offer the high sensitivity and exceptional specificity demanded in research and development, pharmaceutical quality control and environmental analysis. In addition, analysis can be completed in a fraction of the time needed for other chromatographic methods. However, in order to take advantage of all the benefits of LC-MS analysis, high performance solvents are a must. LiChrosolv® hypergrade solvents are ideal for this LC-MS application.

Function applicable suitability testing
Advanced suitability testing with both ESI and APCI ionization in positive and negative modes performed to ensure best reproducibility of results in mass spectrometry.

LiChrosolv® hypergrade solvents provide all the essentials for high ionization efficiency in LC-MS.

• extremely low particles
• free of trace organics
• very low metal ion concentration

LiChrosolv® hypergrade solvents are packed in special treated glass bottles to minimize the leaching of trace metal impurities.

Reduced packaging waste
LiChrosolv® hypergrade solvents for large-scale application are also available in returnable stainless steel barrels. Two types of openings are offered for versatility of connection as well as an extensive range of withdrawal systems. Merck can even provide custom packaging tailor-made to fit your individual needs.
