Other solvents
Topic LCI-USG-0115, Last Updated 11/08/2024

This list comprises solvents you can use in your system after installing a Waters compatibility kit.

Note: Without the appropriate compatibility kit, these solvents can shorten equipment life. If you routinely use the solvents on this list, Waters recommends that you install the Waters hexane/tetrahydrofuran (THF) compatibility kit applicable to your system.
  • Acetone
  • Ethyl acetate
  • Hexane
  • THF

When you change solvents, consider solvent polarity. When switching between polar and nonpolar solvents, flush the system with a miscible and compatible solvent, such as IPA.
