Acetonitrile is an aliphatic nitrile with a pleasant odor and colorless liquid appearance when stored at room temperature. It is ideal for fluorimetric and spectrophotometric techniques due to its clarity under UV-visible light. It has been widely used as a polar aprotic solvent in organic syntheses due to its high eluting ability. Our premium quality Acetonitrile HPLC grade is highly recommended for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems. It is also certified by the ACS (American Chemical Society) as a reagent due to its high purity.
