LCMS Grade Formic Acid (UltraPure)

CovaChem's LCMS Grade Formic Acid is ideally suited as a chromatography additive for use in both HPLC and LCMS applications. Formic acid is typically beneficial as a separations enhancer, and has a weak ion pairing effect in the mass spectrometer, making dissociation of from the analytes relatively easy, often resulting in increased ionization efficiencies, while providing the benefit of pH control to the mobile phase. CovaChem's LCMS grade Formic acid is highly refined, and lot tested not only for purity, but also for the absence of metal ions known to be detrimental to mass spectrometer performance and ionization efficiencies.

CovaChem's LCMS Grade Formic Acid comes in two convenient package sizes (10 x 1 mL Ampules and 25 mL bottles). The 1 mL Ampules of LCMS Grade Formic Acid are particularly useful for quickly preparing 1 Liter bottles of 0.1% Formic Acid solutions in either water or other organic solvents.
