Verez,

One note of caution regarding electrochemical detection and THF: there are potential problems with both the "stabilized" version (the stabilizer is BHT which is electroactive) and the unstabilized version can be contaminated with peroxides which are also electroactive. Depending upon your application, you might find it better to use another solvent because of these issues.
