This product is for research use only. Do not administer it to human.
The solvent for GPC secures absorbances after heating considering the heat decoloration of the solvent at solubilization/analysis of the polymers.
This product contains butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at a concentration of about 0.03% as a stabilizer to prevent tetrohydrofuran (THF) oxidation from oxidizing and degrading the column.
The solvent also secures changes of refractive infex due to moisture, peroxides, nonvolatile matters, and impurities, as well as UV absorption, making it most suitable for preparation of eluents for GPC. The filtration through a 0.45 μm membrane filter in the final process allows obtaining data with high reproducibility and prolongs the column life.
