Bio-Based Methanol Gradient Grade for HPLC, LiChrosolv
BioRenewable, gradient grade for liquid chromatography, LiChrosolv®, reag. Ph. Eur.
Reduce Your Lab's Carbon Footprint. Keep Your Methods Exactly as They Are.
Solvents are among the highest-volume consumables in any analytical laboratory, and a measurable contributor to your Scope 3 CO₂ emissions. LiChrosolv® BioRenewable Methanol HPLC Gradient Grade is derived from certified biomass feedstock and meets the identical specification of the corresponding fossil-based grade. No method redevelopment. No performance compromise for one of the most used solvents in analytical chemistry.
