Methanol HPLC grade is a high-purity solvent (CAS 67-56-1, CH₃OH) used in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for analytical separations, pharmaceutical testing, and laboratory-grade applications. More broadly, methanol is a major feedstock for making formaldehyde, acetic acid and MTBE, and also serves as an industrial solvent, antifreeze and fuel. It meets strict purity standards for reliable chromatographic performance. Molekula supplies Methanol HPLC grade from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
