Formic Acid is the simplest carboxylic acid, containing only one carbon. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent aroma. It is about 10 times stronger than Acetic Acid. The high acidity level and reducing nature of this compound, makes it different from other carboxylic acids.
LC/MS is a versatile technique that combines the physical separation property of Liquid Chromatography with the mass analysis property of Mass Spectroscopy. LC/MS Grade Formic Acid is high-purity solvent for preparing elution solvents for HPLC separations of protein and peptides. LC/MS Grade Formic Acid is well suited as a chromatography additive for use in LC/MS and HPLC applications.
