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
