Supplying solvents (HPLC & GC) to Kenya

By sea, containers and LCL lots take roughly 12–18 days to Mombasa and Lamu. Air cargo to Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta (NBO) takes 3–5 days, which suits small and urgent packs. The relevant authority is NEMA / KEBS (PVoC standards). Our export desk lines up the COA, GHS SDS and shipping documents to match. Common grades for this division are HPLC / gradient grade, LC-MS grade, Spectroscopy (UV/IR) grade and GC / headspace grade.

Chemical compliance in Kenya

Authority	NEMA / KEBS (PVoC standards)
Seaports	Mombasa, Lamu
Airports	Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta (NBO)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Many regulated goods need a Certificate of Conformity under the KEBS Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) programme, issued before shipment, so check your HS codes early. Customs entries go through the KenTrade single window with an Import Declaration Form. APIs and medicinal products require a Pharmacy and Poisons Board registered importer and an import permit for each consignment. Precursor chemicals need narcotics-control permits. NEMA oversees environmental aspects. Hazardous cargo moves under IMDG or IATA rules with a full GHS SDS.

Questions

Solvents (HPLC & GC) for Kenya

Do you ship HPLC & GC solvents to Kenya?

Yes. We ship by sea to Mombasa and Lamu, by air cargo or by express courier depending on quantity and urgency. Every lot carries a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.

Which documents come with a HPLC & GC solvents shipment to Kenya?

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis and SDS as standard, plus the bill of lading or air waybill and a certificate of origin. Anything specific to NEMA / KEBS (PVoC standards) is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Kenya take?

Allow 12–18 days for ocean transit or 3–5 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.

Which solvent grade should I use for LC-MS rather than HPLC-UV?

LC-MS methods need solvents with very low metal ion and non-volatile residue content, because sodium and potassium adducts and background ions show up in the mass spectrum. HPLC-UV methods care mainly about UV cut-off and particle content. Choose LC-MS grade for mass detection and gradient HPLC grade for UV work to balance cost and performance.

How should opened bottles of HPLC solvent be stored?

Keep bottles tightly capped, away from light and at room temperature, and avoid topping up reservoirs with fresh solvent over old. Acetonitrile and methanol absorb moisture and pick up contaminants from the air, and tetrahydrofuran can form peroxides once its stabiliser is used up. Date each bottle on opening and follow your lab's in-use period.
