Merck 106176 Methanol BioRenewable Hypergrade for LC-MS LiChrosolv 2.5 L
Merck 106176 Methanol BioRenewable Hypergrade for LC-MS LiChrosolv 2.5 L
Methanol BioRenewable, hypergrade for LC-MS, LiChrosolv® is a high-purity bio-based solvent designed for liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry applications. Derived from renewable feedstocks, it combines the chromatographic performance requirements of the LiChrosolv® Hypergrade product line with a renewable feedstock approach.
The solvent is suitable for HPLC, LC-MS and LC-MS/MS workflows. Low ionic background and controlled impurities support reproducible mass spectrometric analysis using electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI).

BioRenewable Solvent Technology
The LiChrosolv® BioRenewable solvent portfolio uses renewable feedstocks verified through bio-carbon content certification. The solvent is designed to deliver chromatographic resolution, reproducibility and baseline stability comparable to conventional high-purity methanol.
Merck identifies BioRenewable methanol as a drop-in alternative for appropriate established methods. Laboratory-specific quality assurance and validation requirements should still be considered.
