Collection: Chromatography Reagents and Solvents

Chromatography Reagents and Solvents — compiles HPLC/UHPLC solvents, ion-pair reagents, solvents for LC-MS, and dye solutions for thin-layer chromatography (TLC) such as trifluoroacetic acid, butylamine, and vanillin solution. This group provides supporting materials for chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis, with purity levels adjusted for sensitive instruments.

Chromatography Reagents and Solvents are used by laboratory analysts to prepare HPLC and UHPLC mobile phases, buffer solutions, and ion-pair reagents such as tetrabutylammonium phosphate to separate charged compounds in ion-pair chromatography. LC-MS solvents such as trifluoroethanol are used so that mass spectrometry detection results are free from background interference, while staining reagents such as vanillin-sulfuric acid are used to visualize spots on TLC plates when monitoring synthesis reactions.

Sample products in this collection: TCI A5711 76-05-1 Trifluoroacetic Acid (ca. 0.5mol/L in Water) [Ion-Pair Reagent for LC-MS], TCI B6684 109-73-9 Butylamine [for HPLC], TCI I0367 5574-97-0 Tetrabutylammonium Phosphate (05mol/L in Water) [Reagent for Ion-Pair Chromatography], TCI C0818 110-82-7 Cyclohexane [for HPLC Solvent], TCI V0080 121-33-5 Vanillin (contains H2SO4) Ethanol Solution [for TLC Stain], TCI C0819 67-66-3 Chloroform (stabilized with Ethanol) [for HPLC Solvent], TCI T4174 75-89-8 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol [for HPLC], TCI C1111 67-66-3 Chloroform (stabilized with 2-Methyl-2-butene) [for HPLC Solvent].

Selection of solvents and chromatography reagents should consider the specific HPLC or LC-MS purity grade with low residue and free of interfering ions, the type of stabilizer in chlorinated solvents, and the ready-to-use solution concentration suited to the method. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
