Product Overview

This 60/40 v/v Methanol/DI Water Solution is a precisely formulated binary solvent designed for critical analytical applications. Composed of 60% Methanol (Methyl Alcohol) and 40% Deionized Water by volume, this Reagent Grade mixture ensures consistent polarity for reversed-phase chromatography and general laboratory use. Manufactured to strict standards, it offers excellent UV transparency and controlled acidity, minimizing baseline drift in HPLC and spectroscopic methods.

Also known as MeOH solution, this product provides a stable density and refractive index, making it an ideal baseline solvent for UV-Vis spectroscopy. The solution is packaged to preserve purity, minimizing atmospheric water uptake and maintaining solvent integrity. It serves as a reliable mobile phase for HPLC, a clean extraction medium for chemical processing, and a high-purity cleaning agent for sensitive instrumentation.
