General description

EMD Millipore offers EMPARTA grade solvents for routine tasks in analytical laboratories. EMPARTA grade solvents offer fewer test parameters than EMSURE, yet are still of high quality. EMPARTA solvents meet ACS requirements, making them ideal for a wide range of analytical applications.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is Biorenewable and alternative to petrochemical solvents. Ethanol is environmentally preferable green solvent and thus it aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks". Click here  for more information.
