The reagent’s exceptional purity eliminates background interference, providing reliable and reproducible results in critical experiments. Packaged in high-density polyethylene bottles to prevent contamination, this hydrochloric acid maintains its integrity during storage and handling. Its consistent concentration and purity make it a preferred choice for laboratories requiring the highest standards of reagent quality. The ultrapure nature of this acid ensures compatibility with advanced instrumentation while minimizing maintenance requirements. Whether used for sample digestion, equipment cleaning, or as a solvent in complex analytical procedures, this reagent delivers performance that meets the exacting standards of modern research facilities.
FAQs
1. What is the typical concentration of this ultrapure hydrochloric acid?
The concentration typically ranges between 36.5-38% for this ultrapure grade, though exact specifications should be verified with the certificate of analysis provided with each batch.
2. How does this differ from standard laboratory-grade hydrochloric acid?
This ULTREX® II version undergoes additional purification steps to achieve ultra-low trace metal content, making it suitable for applications where standard grades would introduce unacceptable contamination levels.
3. What type of container is recommended for long-term storage?
The original HDPE bottle is suitable for storage, but for extended periods, transferring to a dedicated acid storage container made of PTFE or PFA is recommended to maintain purity.
4. Are there any special handling precautions for this ultrapure grade?
While handling procedures are similar to standard HCl, additional care should be taken to avoid contamination from labware or environmental sources when working with ultrapure reagents.
5. What documentation is provided to verify the purity of this reagent?
Each batch comes with a comprehensive certificate of analysis detailing trace metal content and other purity parameters, along with lot-specific information for quality assurance.
