Labbox Acetonitrile LC/MS LGR
This high-purity acetonitrile was designed for demanding LC/MS and HPLC applications where precise and reproducible analysis is a top priority. Compared to similar solvents on the market, it ensures exceptional purity, resulting in significantly clearer signals and minimised background noise, especially in mass spectrometry. Due to its strict quality controls, it fulfils professional requirements in laboratories that rely on reliable and low-interference measurements.
Highest quality for analytical practice
This solvent is produced in a multi-stage purification and distillation process, which significantly reduces impurities and therefore supports accurate results. Its reliability in everyday laboratory work is a decisive advantage: users benefit from a consistent product quality, which simplifies the validation and reproducibility of LC/MS methods. Although acetonitrile can also be procured in simpler purity grades, a standardised specification plays a key role when uncompromising accuracy is required - for example in pharmaceutical research or food analysis.
Clear labelling in accordance with hazardous goods and chemicals regulations, including the corresponding CLP symbols (e.g. GHS02 for flammability and GHS06 for toxicity), ensures safe handling and storage. For regulated laboratory environments, it is essential that all legal requirements are met. Correct labelling protects specialist personnel from confusion and ensures that the product can be used safely.

A reduced risk of interfering side reactions forms the basis for clearly identifying even sensitive active ingredients. Thanks to comprehensive quality controls throughout the entire manufacturing process, this solvent fulfils fundamental DIN requirements and European chemical guidelines. This provides laboratory professionals with a medium that has proven itself in demanding routine analyses and performs just as consistently in projects with strictly regulated specifications.
Certifications and standards
During production, particular attention is paid to demanding quality standards to ensure that the purity meets the specifications for analytical procedures. The product is monitored according to relevant DIN standards and in compliance with important EU directives. The manufacturer carries out regular checks in order to recognise deviations in test parameters at an early stage. This ensures safety and purity, which play a decisive role in areas such as pharmaceuticals and food.
Typical application scenarios
- Residue analyses of pesticides in fruit and vegetables, where low detection limits and clear signals are required
- Mass spectrometric identification of minute trace impurities in sensitive active substances
- HPLC-based purification methods for proteins, peptides or other macromolecular compounds
- Extractions of samples where unwanted substances need to be eliminated without affecting the analysed material
In addition, it is used as a mobile phase in combination with formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid or other known additives. This further optimises sensitivity and signal quality. It is also widely used for organic syntheses, for example in reaction steps that require an inert environment, as it allows reaction processes to be clearly monitored.
FAQs
What protective equipment is recommended
As this is a highly flammable and toxic liquid, suitable protective clothing should always be worn. This includes chemical-resistant safety goggles, gloves (e.g. made of nitrile) and a smock. Due to the classification as Acute Tox. 3, sufficient ventilation measures must be taken during inhalation.
How to store correctly
Cool, dry and well ventilated - storage at excessively high temperatures should be avoided as the liquid is highly flammable. Containers should always be tightly sealed. Appropriate areas in the laboratory, e.g. hazardous substance cabinets with suitable fire resistance classes, are recommended.
What aspects need to be considered during disposal
Due to its toxicity and flammability, the medium must not be mixed with normal laboratory waste or disposed of in the sewage system. Disposal in consultation with the local waste disposal company authorised to accept hazardous materials ensures correct handling. Appropriately labelled containers and collection points for organic waste facilitate safe disposal.
Is it versatile?
Yes, it is suitable for a wide range of analytical methods, including UHPLC or preparative methods that require particularly high purity of the solvents used. Its use is also recommended in advanced mass spectrometry workflows to improve the reproducibility of results.
What distinguishes this product from standard acetonitrile?
It is characterised by consistent fine purification, which minimises background noise and interfering peaks, especially in LC/MS applications. The result is stable and accurate measurement data with high sensitivity, a clear advantage over products with lower purity.
Conclusion
Thanks to its meticulous purity, comprehensive certification and unique stability, this solvent enables precise measurement results in highly sensitive LC/MS and HPLC applications. Safe handling and storage are ensured by precise GHS labelling and strict quality controls. Users who need a reliable basis for their analytical procedures will find this an ideal partner for demanding laboratory tests.
