FAQs
1. What safety precautions should be taken when handling Nitric Acid ER?
When handling Nitric Acid ER, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles or a face shield, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to prevent inhalation of vapors. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. In case of contact, immediately flush the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical attention. Always add acid to water slowly when diluting, never water to acid, to manage heat generation.
2. Can Nitric Acid ER be used for cleaning laboratory glassware?
Yes, Nitric Acid ER is effective for cleaning and removing stubborn residues from laboratory glassware due to its strong oxidizing and corrosive properties. It is particularly useful for dissolving metal oxides and organic contaminants. However, extreme caution must be exercised, and it should always be used in dilute solutions and thoroughly rinsed afterwards. Ensure proper disposal of the waste acid.
3. What are the recommended storage conditions for Nitric Acid ER?
Nitric Acid ER should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent the escape of corrosive fumes and to maintain its purity. Store separately from incompatible materials such as organic compounds, reducing agents, bases, and flammable substances. Always use secondary containment to prevent spills.
4. Is Nitric Acid ER compatible with all types of lab equipment?
Nitric Acid ER is highly corrosive and reacts with many materials. It is generally compatible with glass, certain plastics like PTFE, and specific stainless steel alloys (under certain concentrations and temperatures). Avoid contact with most metals, rubber, and many organic materials which can degrade or react dangerously. Always check material compatibility before use with any specific equipment.
5. Does eqipped provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Nitric Acid ER?
Yes, eqipped provides a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for all batches of Nitric Acid ER. The CoA details the product’s specifications, lot number, manufacturing date, and analytical test results, verifying its purity and compliance with declared standards. This ensures traceability and confirms the quality of the reagent for your critical applications.
