Description

General description

The product is a high purity solvent pre-blended with formic acid to provide convenient ready-to-use mobile phases for accurate LC-MS. Formic acid improves ionization and resolution of a wide range of molecules. The addition of this low molecular weight organic acid to the mobile phase can help to overcome the ionization-suppressing effect of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) present in the mobile phases used for the analysis of proteins and peptides.

Features and Benefits

• no ghost peaks
• full reproducibility
• extends the lifetime of columns
• optimized and tested for LC-MS applications
• minimal background ion suppression
• reduced risk of contamination
• less exposure to hazardous chemicals
