Ethanol absolute for LCMS is a high-purity, anhydrous ethanol specifically formulated for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) applications, ensuring minimal background interference and consistent analytical performance. Beyond chromatography, ethanol is used as a laboratory and industrial solvent, a reagent in organic synthesis, an intermediate for other chemicals, and a solvent in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It meets stringent requirements for residue-free solvent use in precise chemical analysis. Catalogue details: CAS 64-17-5, molecular formula C2H6O, molecular weight 46.07 g/mol, stored at ambient conditions. Hazard classification includes the signal word Danger due to flammability (H225, highly flammable liquid and vapour). Molekula supplies Ethanol absolute for LCMS from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
