Description

General description

SupraSolv ECD and FID are specially developed for gas chromatography in combination with the ECD (Electron Capture Detector) and FID (Flame Ionization Detector). SupraSolv solvents offer the largest specified retention time range, a clear baseline, and a minimal signal-to-noise ratio, leading to reliable and reproducible analysis results.

Application

Ethyl acetate can be used as a:

• Extraction solvent for the pharmaceutical metabolites by sonication in an ultrasonic bath.[1]
• Rinsing solvent for glassware.[2]
