In the present study the solubility of β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin at sub-zero and elevated temperatures (-10 and +30°C) for a given composition of methanol/water and acetonitrile/water binary mixtures (Xs = 0.16) was studied. Moreover, the freezing temperature profiles of acetonitrile-based chromatographic mobile phases were measured, and the obtained results were compared with data available in the literature. Furthermore, the effect of the macrocycles concentration on the liquid-phase freezing points was determined. The low solubility of native β-cyclodextrin in a methanol/water mixture at sub-zero temperature as well as the non-linear behavior of acetonitrile/water mixtures that were observed concerning the freezing point profile are discussed from a practical point of view.
