Merck has introduced a new line of bio-based solvents for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Made from renewable resources, these solvents help reduce the use of fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions, all while maintaining the high standards needed for precise scientific work.
These new solvents deliver about 26% fewer carbon emissions compared to traditional fossil-fuel-based solvents. They are designed to work seamlessly with existing HPLC and LC-MS equipment, making it easy for labs to switch without changing their current methods.
“Our new bio-based solvents are the next step in advanced chromatography,” said Karen Madden, Merck’s Chief Technology Officer for Life Science. “Scientists want solutions that are better for the environment but still deliver the accuracy and reliability they need. Our new portfolio meets those needs and fits right into existing workflows.”
The solvents are compatible with common laboratory techniques used in drug research, quality control, environmental testing, and diagnostics. They serve as the mobile phase to carry samples through chromatography systems, a key step in analyzing and measuring components.
Developed with Merck’s scientific expertise and proprietary manufacturing methods, these solvents are replacements for common chemicals like acetonitrile, methanol, and ethanol. Because they perform just as well as traditional options, labs can switch easily without revalidating their methods.
This launch is part of Merck’s broader effort to offer greener, high-performance solutions that support more sustainable science practices.
