Description

Methanol CP (Methyl Alcohol) 25Lt*

Methanol CP (which stands for “Chemical Pure” methanol) is primarily used as a general solvent for various analytical techniques like chromatography, spectroscopy, and chemical synthesis, due to its polarity and ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds; it’s commonly used in HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) analysis to mobilize samples on the column.
Key points about Methanol CP in a lab:
Solvent properties:
Its polarity allows it to dissolve both polar and non-polar molecules, making it versatile for different applications.
Chromatography:
Methanol is a common mobile phase component in reversed-phase HPLC, where it helps separate and analyze different compounds based on their polarity.
Spectroscopy:
It can be used as a solvent for preparing samples for UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis.
Chemical synthesis:
Methanol acts as a starting material for synthesizing other organic compounds in various chemical reactions.
