Product inquiry guide
HPLC Solvents
Inquiry guide for HPLC, UHPLC, LC-MS and analytical-grade solvents, with method-specific requirements for chromatography and QC.
Request this categoryHPLC Solvents
For HPLC or LC-MS solvents, specify the solvent, grade, purity or water limits, pack size and method. Include any additive, bottle or delivery requirements.
Name the intended analytical method and required documentation, such as a safety data sheet or lot certificate. Confirm grade, pack and current availability in the quote.
Options to specify in your inquiry
- acetonitrile, methanol, water, and alcohols
- mobile-phase additives and acids
- GC, LC-MS, and HPLC grade solvents
- filtration, vials, caps, and chromatography consumables
What buyers should confirm
Grade
specify the method-required HPLC or LC-MS grade; do not assume GC, ACS, AR or technical grades are interchangeable
Purity markers
review UV cutoff, residue, water content, acidity/alkalinity, and lot CoA
Packaging
confirm pack size, bottle material, closure, storage, and safe handling needs
Documentation
request SDS, CoA, shelf-life, lot number, and manufacturer declaration when required
Common inquiry routes

Define the quotation and service scope
List the quotation, documentation, delivery and technical-service requirements for your procurement. Ask for the responsible supplier or service provider, included tasks, exclusions and commercial terms to be identified in the written proposal.
Choosing HPLC Solvents
Choose chromatography solvents by the method and detector, not just the chemical name. HPLC isocratic, gradient and LC-MS products are distinct catalogue categories, so a substitution needs review against the required specification. For GETSON, identify the solvent, grade, quantity and pack size, then request the proposed product's certificate of analysis and safety data sheet. Check relevant purity criteria, packaging and remaining shelf life; availability and delivery terms require a quotation.
Technical references: CARLO ERBA Liquid Chromatography · CARLO ERBA acetonitrile isocratic product sheet. The category page distinguishes chromatography grades; the acetonitrile sheet gives one grade’s specification. Request the offered product’s specification and lot CoA; GC, ACS, AR and technical grades are not automatic HPLC or LC-MS substitutes. Confirm availability, documents and service terms for the proposed item in the quotation.
Is any high-purity solvent suitable for my chromatography method?
Do not treat grade names as interchangeable. Send the method and required solvent specification, and compare the proposed grade's documented characteristics with the detector and application requirements before accepting a substitution.

Frequently asked questions
Which HPLC solvents can GETSON source?
Specify the solvent identity, manufacturer reference where known, method-required grade, pack size and quantity. Confirm the offered grade and documentation in the quotation; grade names do not establish interchangeability.
Which CoA and SDS documents should I request?
Request the certificate of analysis for the offered product and lot, plus the applicable safety data sheet and product specification. Confirm their availability and revision; the SDS addresses hazards and handling, while the specification and CoA address the stated quality criteria.
