Carlo Erba Reagents : What floorvents and reagents for chromatography, quality control and synthesis?

Carlo Erba Reagents supplies European laboratories with solvents and analytical reagents purpose-built for chromatography, quality control and synthesis. Rooted in Italy, the brand serves the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry, environmental testing and academic research with fit-for-purpose grades (HPLC, LC-MS, ACS, Ph. Eur.). Batch traceability, Certificates of Analysis and REACH/CLP compliance de-risk your methods. Batch-to-batch consistency and lab-friendly pack sizes make routine integration easy. Dutscher supplies a broad, readily available selection, from bottle to pallet.

A chemical legacy born in Milan

Founded in the 19th century around the pharmacist Carlo Erba, the brand has established itself as a benchmark in laboratory chemistry. From its Milanese origins to its current industrial organisation, Carlo Erba Reagents has made purity, safety and consistency its guiding principles. The company has expanded its European footprint by combining production, distillation and filling/packaging capabilities with a service-driven logistics network. It keeps pace with evolving regulations and laboratory practices, investing in purification processes and strengthened quality controls to ensure consistent performance, batch after batch.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

In laboratories where reproducibility is paramount, Carlo Erba Reagents stands out with chromatography solvents optimised for HPLC/UHPLC and LC-MS: low, controlled UV baseline noise, low impurity levels and cleanliness suitable for sensitive detectors. Selected for extraction, elution and sample preparation, they deliver sharp peaks and stable retention times.

For routine analysis and synthesis, the brand offers ACS grades and reliable core reagents: acids, bases, salts, plus anhydrous or technical-grade solvents as needed. Specifications aim to balance performance and bench safety, with compliance to common standards (ACS, Ph. Eur., ISO) where required by the method.

Ready-to-use solutions complete the offering: buffers for reference, standardised solutions and titration reagents to save time without compromising accuracy. Each batch comes with full traceability, detailed Certificates of Analysis and accessible SDS.

On the practical side, Carlo Erba Reagents pays attention to packaging: glass or HDPE bottles from 1 L to 2.5 L and lab-suited jerrycans, safety caps and clear labelling for seamless integration into QC, R&D or environmental monitoring. Dutscher ensures availability and application advice, from choosing the right chromatographic grade through to the safest packaging for your workflow.
