Caffeine Test Mixture Solution. 30 ml. Chemical Solutions brand. 1 EA.
Additional Info:
These mixtures are designed for use in HPLC system suitability testing, column performance verification, and method development.
Key Features
Primary Component: Caffeine, a well-characterized compound with strong UV absorbance, making it ideal for UV detection in HPLC.
Application: Used to evaluate column efficiency, resolution, and reproducibility in reversed-phase HPLC systems.
Detection: Typically monitored at 254 nm due to caffeine’s strong UV absorbance at this wavelength.
Formulation: Supplied in a ready-to-use solution, often in a mixture of water and organic solvent (e.g., acetonitrile or methanol), though exact composition may vary by lot.
Common Uses
System Suitability Testing: Ensures that the HPLC system is performing within acceptable parameters.
Column Testing: Assesses column performance, including retention time, peak shape, and resolution.
Training and Method Development: Provides a reliable standard for training analysts or developing new methods.
