General description

With their high degree of UV transmittance, low particle count, low acidity and alkalinity and low evaporation residue level, LiChrosolv solvents are ideal for reproducible separations. Since separations are normally carried out under gradient conditions in analytical HPLC, we offer solvents in "gradient grade" as well as "isocratic grade". This enables to minimize the gradient effect of the solvent involved.

Application


  • Insights into "wheat aroma": Analysis of volatile components in wheat grains cultivated in saline-alkali soil: This study explores the use of 1-butanol in analyzing the aromatic profiles of wheat grains from saline-alkali soils, highlighting its role in identifying key volatile compounds associated with the unique scent of wheat (Sun et al., 2024).

  • PLD2 deficiency alleviates endothelial glycocalyx degradation in LPS-induced ARDS/ALI: Includes findings on the protective role of 1-butanol in cellular models of lung injury, demonstrating its potential therapeutic applications in respiratory conditions (Kong et al., 2024).
