2-Propanol (IPA) LCMS

2 Propanol (2-Propanol) also known as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), is a clear, colourless liquid with a strong, characteristic odour. It is a common solvent used in a wide range of applications, including; cleaning agents, disinfectants, and as a solvent for coatings and printing inks.

In LCMS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) applications, 2 Propanol is used as a solvent to dissolve and dilute samples for analysis. It is a popular choice due to its high volatility, low viscosity, and ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar substances. In addition, it is compatible with a wide range of LCMS instrumentation, including both positive and negative ion modes.

When used as a solvent in LCMS, it is important to ensure that the 2 Propanol is of high purity and free from contaminants that may interfere with the analysis. LCMS-grade 2 Propanol is specially purified to remove impurities and is typically tested for its performance in LCMS applications.

It is important to handle 2 Propanol with care, as it is flammable and may be harmful if ingested or if it comes into contact with the eyes or skin. Appropriate safety precautions should be taken when working with 2-Propanol, such as wearing gloves and working in a well-ventilated area.
