TechTalk: A greener solvent switch without changing your HPLC or LC-MS methods
Friday, November 13 at 15:30 GMT | 16:30 CET | 10:30 EDT | 07:30 PDT
What if your lab could reduce the environmental impact of one of its highest-volume consumables without changing the way you work?
Solvents are essential to analytical workflows, but they also contribute to Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, creating an opportunity to make everyday high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis more sustainable.
Register for this insightful SelectScience® TechTalk as chemistry solvent sustainability expert, John Cooper, will share how Merck’s LiChrosolv® BioRenewable solvents provide a bio-based alternative specifically engineered for HPLC and LC-MS. Derived from renewable feedstocks and verified through bio-carbon content certification, the portfolio delivers, on average, 25.9% lower CO₂ equivalents than conventional fossil-fuel-based alternatives.
Designed to meet the same specifications as corresponding fossil-based grades, these bio-based solvents can be introduced as drop-in replacements that require zero method redevelopment. Join Cooper as he will explore what this means in practice and how laboratories can reduce solvent-related environmental impact without sacrificing chromatographic performance.
