Acetonitrile is used as an eluent in reversed phase HPLC. It is an excellent eluent, having low UV absorption, good selectivity (partly because of its dipole moment) and low viscosity.

Two grades of HPLC Acetonitrile are available. Acetonitrile General is usable down to about 220nm, while the Far UV grade is a higher purity, and usable down to nearly 200nm.

If working at low wavelength and one day no peaks are seen, check that the general grade acetonitrile has not be used by accident.
