Accurate analytic results in UV/VIS and infrared spectroscopy depend

on the use of very pure solvents for sample preparation. The Uvasol®
solvents range has been specially designed for spectroscopy and other
applications requiring solvents of the highest spectral purity. The
refinement process allows a greater degree of security in applications
and avoids misinterpretation of analytical results caused by traces of
UV, IR and fluorescence contamination. Uvasol® solvents offer best UV
transmittance. In all specifications the minimum transmittance for 5 typical wavelengths are identified.
Furthermore the transmittance is specified in accordance with Reag. Ph Eur and ACS.
