General description

EMPARTA solvents are designed for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning in quality control environments. Engineered for precision, they deliver consistently reproducible results essential for rigorous validation and documentation.

Exceptional Quality Standards: These solvents meet or exceed ACS specifications, providing assurance of high quality that is crucial for accurate testing and analysis in quality control.

Consistent Reproducibility: Designed for precision, the solvents ensure that results can be reliably reproduced, which is vital for maintaining compliance and integrity in quality control processes.

Versatile Applications: Suitable for a variety of QC tasks, including analytical testing, method validation, and testing USP/NF monographs, these solvents support a comprehensive approach to quality assurance in laboratory settings.
EMPARTA® grade solvents are for routine tasks in analytical laboratories. EMPARTA® grade solvents offer fewer test parameters than EMSURE®, yet are still of high quality. EMPARTA® solvents meet ACS requirements, making them ideal for a wide range of analytical applications.
