Description
Acetonitrile ROTISOLV® Pestilyse® plus is a high-purity solvent grade with a minimum assay of 99,9 %, supplied for demanding chromatographic and residue-analysis workflows. The compound has CAS number 75-05-8, empirical formula C₂H₃N, molar mass 41,05 g/mol and density 0,79 g/cm³. Boiling point is 81,65 °C and flash point is 2 °C, so appropriate laboratory handling of this flammable liquid is required. Packaged as 2,5 l in glass, this ROTISOLV® Pestilyse® plus quality from manufacturer Carl ROTH is oriented toward solvents for GC and other chromatographic applications where low background and consistent purity matter. Acetonitrile is widely used as a mobile-phase component, extraction solvent and sample diluent in environmental, food and pharmaceutical laboratories. The defined physical data and Pestilyse® plus specification support reproducible results in multi-residue and trace-level methods. EG number 200-835-2 identifies the substance for regulatory documentation within the laboratory quality system.
This article belongs on HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, in Solvents. See also Analytical grade solvents (p.a.).

Questions about Acetonitrile ROTISOLV®, Pestilyse® plus, min. 99,9 %, 2.5 l, glass
What is this article?
Acetonitrile ROTISOLV®, Pestilyse® plus, min. 99,9 %, 2.5 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.
