ACETONITRILE LR (1 Ltr)

Product Description

Acetonitrile, often abbreviated MeCN (methyl cyanide), is the chemical compound with the formula CH3CN and structure H3CCN. This colourless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is a simpler nitrile, but the cyanide anion is not classed as organic).

Superior Solvent for Laboratory Applications

ACETONITRILE LR is renowned for its high purity (99.8%) making it ideal for laboratory processes such as chromatography, chemical synthesis, and detailed analytical work. Its miscibility with polar and nonpolar solvents ensures consistent performance across various experimental setups. Researchers prefer acetonitrile due to its reliable results and versatility in sample preparation.


Safety and Handling Precautions

Given its highly flammable nature and vapor pressure of 97 mmHg at 20C, ACETONITRILE LR requires stringent safety protocols. Users must store it in sealed bottles within cool, dry, and well-ventilated environments, away from heat or open flames. The use of appropriate respiratory protection and handling equipment is mandatory to prevent harm from exposure during laboratory operations.
