General description

2-Propanol is widely used as a solvent. It serves as a polar modifier in the sample preparation process for vitamin E analysis of oils using NP-HPLC (normal--phase high-performance liquid chromatography) or RP-HPLC (reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography).

Application

2-Propanol can be used as a mobile phase component for evaluating the enantioselectivity of 12 polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs).
