Bio-Based Acetonitrile Gradient Grade for HPLC, LiChrosolv

The First Bio-Based HPLC Acetonitrile on the Market — Built to Your Existing Specification.

Certified bio-carbon content. Identical gradient grade performance. No method redevelopment required.

Acetonitrile is the most widely used solvent in reversed-phase HPLC, and a significant contributor to a chromatography lab's Scope 3 CO₂ emissions across its full lifecycle.

LiChrosolv^® BioRenewable Acetonitrile Gradient Grade is the first bio-based acetonitrile available for HPLC workflows. Derived from certified biomass feedstock and meeting the identical specification as the corresponding fossil-based grade, it delivers a direct, verifiable reduction in solvent-associated emissions — with no impact on your analytical workflow.

Features and Benefits

Biomass-derived. Chromatographically equivalent. Compliance-ready.

• Bio-based, certified bio-carbon content:
  • Reduction in laboratory Scope 3 emissions.
  • Confidence that the methanol genuinely is derived from bio-based feedstock.
• Identical specification to fossil-based grade:
  • Qualifies as a true drop-in replacement — no method redevelopment.
• Gradient grade:
  • Purpose-formulated to reduce the gradient effect during separation, providing optimal baseline consistency and accuracy in gradient elution workflows.
• Aligned with 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry:
  • Documented compliance with use of Renewable Feedstocks — auditable, traceable sustainability claims that hold up under procurement and regulatory scrutiny.
