Thermo Fisher’s new range of solvents claims to minimise baseline noise and reduce pump blockages.
The new solvents, comprising acetonitrile, methanol and water, have been designed for use with the Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) pump to ensure maximum sensitivity and resolution for high-speed, high-throughput applications.
The solvents are filtered to a level of 0.1 µm removing particles that may block the pump and valve under high pressure, thereby saving time, money and effort, as well as syringe filters.
The new UHPLC solvents display a high UV transmission rate, making them ideal for all UHPLC applications using UV detection.
Other features include guaranteed lot-to-lot consistency and extremely low acidity and alkalinity levels. These are important for quality control and research labs working in UV detection.
