- It is used for the isolation and quantitative determination of carotenes and xanthophylls from Capsicum annum pericarp extracts by HPLC.
Key features
- HPLC Grade: Appropriate for chromatographic procedures requiring an HPLC solvent.
- Mobile Phase: Suitable for use as a mobile phase in HPLC applications.
- Low UV-Absorbing Impurities: Helps reduce background interference during UV-visible detection, supporting qualitative and quantitative analysis.
- Water Insoluble: Its insolubility in water makes it suitable for organic solvent-based analytical procedures.
General Overview
Methyl-tert-butyl ether HPLC is an organic solvent used in analytical chromatography, with particular application as an HPLC mobile phase. It is also identified by names including tert-butyl methyl ether, MTBE, methyl t-butyl ether, methyl tertiary-butyl ether, propane, 2-methoxy-2-methyl, methyl-tert-butyl ether, methyl-t-butyl ether, and 2-methyl-2-methoxypropane. The solvent is clear and colorless, has a characteristic ethereal odor, and is insoluble in water.
MTBE has been applied in analytical procedures for isolating and quantitatively determining specific organic compounds through HPLC. It has also been studied in oxidative degradation experiments, including heat-assisted persulfate oxidation under different pH, temperature, oxidant concentration, and ionic strength conditions.
