Ethanol for HPLC is a high-purity, anhydrous alcohol specifically formulated for use in high-performance liquid chromatography to ensure accurate and reliable analytical results. Beyond chromatography, ethanol serves as a laboratory and industrial solvent, a reagent and intermediate in organic synthesis, and a solvent in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and fragrance formulations. It is commonly used as a mobile phase solvent or diluent in HPLC applications due to its low UV absorbance and high purity. CAS 64-17-5, molecular formula C2H6O, molecular weight 46.07. Stored at ambient conditions. Signal word: Danger. Molekula supplies Ethanol for HPLC from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
