For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Acetonitrile an aliphatic nitrile is widely used as an organic solvent and intermediate in organic syntheses.[1]It is transparent to UV-visible light which makes it highly applicable in spectrophotometric and fluorimetric techniques. MeCN is utilized as a mobile phase component in many chromatographic techniques due to its low viscosity high elution strength and miscibility in water. It also plays a major role as an extractant medium in liquid-liquid extraction solid-phase extraction or microextraction.
