Labbox Acetonitrile GC/HPLC GGR
Labbox Acetonitrile GC/HPLC GGR is a high purity, polar aprotic solvent specially formulated for precise chromatographic applications such as gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Thanks to its low water content and exceptional purity, it enables particularly reliable and reproducible results. This product is recommended over conventional alternatives because it offers consistent quality and fulfils the highest requirements for sensitive laboratory analyses.
High purity and versatile use in analytics
This solvent is particularly impressive due to its chemical stability, which guarantees low susceptibility to interference even with complex analysis methods. Acetonitrile has a low viscosity, which supports a smooth flow through chromatographic systems and thus significantly reduces the time required for many analyses. Due to its good solubility in water, it can also be used for a wide range of applications in the analytical environment.
Important key technical data and benefits include:
- Low water content and high purity
- Suitable for gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography
- Special labelling (GHS02, GHS06) for highly flammable and toxic substances
- UN Code 1648 for the transport of dangerous goods
- Excellent solvency for polar and non-polar compounds
- Stable chemical properties for reproducible results
- Compliant with current international regulations (ADR, IMDG, IATA)
These features make the solvent a reliable companion in research laboratories or production areas where maximum precision and consistent product quality are required. The focus on purity also reduces the risk of interfering by-products, which can have a negative impact on measured values and analyses.
The material compatibility with various analyser systems makes it particularly suitable for demanding tests where minimal background contamination is required. Whether analysing pesticide residues, detecting organic traces in water or routine testing of active pharmaceutical ingredients - the solvent meets the high requirements of these industries.
Certifications and standards
During production and transport, various regulations must be observed to ensure safe working and compliant handling. In addition to the relevant standards such as ADR, IMDG and IATA, which regulate the transport of hazardous substances, this product bears the GHS02 (flammable) and GHS06 (toxic) labelling. These markings ensure professional, compliant handling that protects both personnel and the environment. Thanks to its clear categorisation according to international standards, laboratories and industrial users can rest assured that all potential hazards remain controllable by complying with safety measures.
Concrete application examples
- Detection of pesticide residues in food: Precise identification of even the lowest concentrations is possible as interference signals are minimised.
- Analysis of organic contaminants in water samples: Reliable and stable analysis forms an important basis for environmental and quality controls.
- Testing of active pharmaceutical ingredients in R & D laboratories: The lack of impurities and the low water content mean that test results remain reproducible.
- Process control in chemical production: The solvent is used to regularly monitor the degree of purity to ensure consistently high product quality.
Typically, acetonitrile is also often used in the analysis of volatile organic compounds or in the testing of active substances in clinical studies. This universal approach covers many scenarios in which a reliable, purity-tested medium is essential.
FAQs
How should the solvent be stored?
Ideally, it should be stored in tightly closed original containers in a cool, well-ventilated place. Ensure that the storage temperature is below 25 °C to maintain stability and avoid sources of ignition or potentially sparking equipment.
What protective equipment is necessary
Because of its classification as highly flammable and toxic, it is recommended to wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles and a suitable lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood will reduce exposure.
Is any mixture with water possible
Acetonitrile mixes well with water. Nevertheless, the desired pH value and the quality of the analysis should always be kept in mind so as not to falsify the result.
What precautions apply during transport
The classification according to UN 1648 and the classification in ADR, IMDG and IATA require appropriate and labelled packaging. This ensures safe transport at home and abroad.
How is the disposal carried out?
Due to its toxic and flammable properties, this solvent must be treated as hazardous waste. Disposal is carried out in accordance with local and national guidelines for hazardous substances in order to protect people and the environment.
Conclusion
Labbox Acetonitrile GC/HPLC GGR impresses with its high-quality, stable formulation and fulfils the strictest requirements for analytical work in research laboratories or industrial quality controls. Thanks to its low water content and optimum purity, it produces reliable, reproducible results - whether in pesticide analysis, pharmaceutical R & D or environmental tests. Clear labelling and compliance with international standards ensure safe handling, while users in highly sensitive areas can expect reliable results and efficient processes.
