Solvents Application Guide
Guides | 2020 | Thermo Fisher ScientificInstrumentation
In analytical chemistry, solvents are essential for chromatography, extraction, spectroscopy, and sample preparation. High-purity and reproducible solvents reduce background noise, prevent contamination, and ensure accurate, sensitive analyses across LC/MS, GC, HPLC, UHPLC, and other techniques.
The Fisher Chemical Solvents Application Guide aims to consolidate information on over 800 high-purity solvents, packaging solutions, delivery systems, and purity grades to support method development and routine applications in research, quality control, and industrial analytics.
The guide is based on solvents manufactured in ISO 9001 facilities with rigorous quality assurance, including submicron filtration, UV absorbance screening, trace metal testing by ICP/MS, and gradient suitability testing using UHPLC, PDA, and mass spectrometry. Packaging performance is evaluated under regulatory and safety criteria.
The guide supports environmental testing, pharmaceutical QC, proteomics, metabolomics, histology, electronics manufacturing, and routine lab analyses. Consistent lot-to-lot quality, rapid online access to SDS and CofA via QR codes, and comprehensive technical support streamline workflow and enhance data reliability.
Emerging needs include greener solvent alternatives, digital tracking of solvent usage and performance analytics, integration with automated dispensing systems, and bespoke solvent formulations driven by AI-assisted method development. Sustainable packaging and closed-loop delivery will be key areas of innovation.
The Fisher Chemical Solvents Application Guide presents a unified framework for selecting, handling, and deploying high-purity solvents across diverse analytical platforms. By combining robust purity standards, advanced packaging, and flexible delivery systems, it addresses the evolving demands of modern laboratories.

Summary
Significance of the Topic
In analytical chemistry, solvents are essential for chromatography, extraction, spectroscopy, and sample preparation. High-purity and reproducible solvents reduce background noise, prevent contamination, and ensure accurate, sensitive analyses across LC/MS, GC, HPLC, UHPLC, and other techniques.
Objectives and Overview
The Fisher Chemical Solvents Application Guide aims to consolidate information on over 800 high-purity solvents, packaging solutions, delivery systems, and purity grades to support method development and routine applications in research, quality control, and industrial analytics.
Methodology and Instrumentation
The guide is based on solvents manufactured in ISO 9001 facilities with rigorous quality assurance, including submicron filtration, UV absorbance screening, trace metal testing by ICP/MS, and gradient suitability testing using UHPLC, PDA, and mass spectrometry. Packaging performance is evaluated under regulatory and safety criteria.
Instrumentation
- UHPLC and UHPLC/MS systems (Thermo Scientific TSQ, Orbitrap, Vanquish)
- Gradient evaluation with UV (200–400 nm) and MS/MS specifications
- ICP/MS for metal analysis
- Gas chromatography with FID and ECD detectors
- Liquid scintillation counters
Main Results and Discussion
- Purity Grades: Ranges from UHPLC/MS, Optima LC/MS, HPLC, GC headspace, GC Resolv, to specialty (e.g., histological, electronic, scintanalyzed).
- Packaging Solutions: Clear/amber glass, Safe-Cote PVC-coated bottles, aluminum cans, plastic options, all with tamper-evident FisherLOCK closures and ChemAlert color codes.
- Delivery Systems: Bulk solvent container platforms (FisherPak, BasicPak, DelPak, NowPak I/II) improve safety, reduce waste, and maintain solvent integrity.
- Mobile Phase Blends: Pre-formulated aqueous and organic blends with formic or trifluoroacetic acid at specified concentrations for LC/MS and HPLC, minimizing in-lab preparation errors.
- Specialty and Life Sciences Grades: Molecular biology and proteomics solvents, extra-dry grades, deuterated NMR solvents; tailored for specific bioanalytical and spectroscopic requirements.
Benefits and Practical Applications
The guide supports environmental testing, pharmaceutical QC, proteomics, metabolomics, histology, electronics manufacturing, and routine lab analyses. Consistent lot-to-lot quality, rapid online access to SDS and CofA via QR codes, and comprehensive technical support streamline workflow and enhance data reliability.
Future Trends and Opportunities
Emerging needs include greener solvent alternatives, digital tracking of solvent usage and performance analytics, integration with automated dispensing systems, and bespoke solvent formulations driven by AI-assisted method development. Sustainable packaging and closed-loop delivery will be key areas of innovation.
Conclusion
The Fisher Chemical Solvents Application Guide presents a unified framework for selecting, handling, and deploying high-purity solvents across diverse analytical platforms. By combining robust purity standards, advanced packaging, and flexible delivery systems, it addresses the evolving demands of modern laboratories.
