Description
Acetonitrile is a polar aprotic solvent supplied as ROTISOLV® min. 99,8 %, GC-MS grade for high-sensitivity chromatographic applications. Identified by CAS number 75-05-8 and empirical formula C₂H₃N, it offers a molar mass of 41,05 g/mol, density of 0,79 g/cm³, flash point of 2 °C and boiling point of 81,65 °C. is intended for gas chromatography–mass spectrometry work, including sample dilution, standard preparation and system rinsing where low background interference is critical. Its favourable elution strength and volatility make it a standard choice in GC-MS laboratories performing environmental, pharmaceutical and research analyses. This solvent comes from manufacturer Carl ROTH as part of the ROTISOLV® GC solvent portfolio. Defined purity, documented physical data and glass packaging support reproducible analytical performance in routine and method-development settings. Ideal for professional labs that need consistent acetonitrile quality for GC-MS and related chromatographic sample handling.
This article is part of HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, in Solvents. See also Analytical grade solvents (p.a.).

Questions about Acetonitrile, ROTISOLV® min. 99,8 %, GC-MS, 1 l, glass
What is this article?
Acetonitrile, ROTISOLV® min. 99,8 %, GC-MS, 1 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
HPLC grade limits the absorbance and the residue that would appear as peaks or baseline drift. LC-MS grade goes further on metal ions and on particles that would suppress a mass spectrum. A solvent that is only analytical grade is a false economy on an LC-MS system.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis), Technical & synthesis grade solvents and Green & alternative solvents.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
