Sodium butane-1-sulfonate is the sodium salt of butane-1-sulfonic acid used as an ionic mobile-phase additive for chromatographic separation of arsenic, selenium, and related analytes. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, supplied for research use, and is commonly used to improve ion-pairing and retention in aqueous chromatographic methods.
- Used as ionic mobile-phase additive for chromatographic separations.
- Improves separation and resolution of arsenic and selenium species.
- High purity suitable for analytical applications (manufacturer lists ~98% assay).
- White to off-white crystalline powder; stable and easy to weigh.
- Suits ion-pairing and retention control in aqueous methods.
