Product Description
Nitric acid is a cornerstone reagent in laboratories, and this fuming variant at 65% concentration offers exceptional purity for demanding applications. The BAKER ANALYZED® certification ensures consistent quality, making it a trusted choice for researchers, educators, and students across India. Whether you’re conducting qualitative analysis, preparing samples, or synthesizing compounds, this reagent-grade nitric acid delivers reliable results.
Fuming nitric acid is particularly valued for its high reactivity, which accelerates oxidation reactions and dissolution processes. Its concentrated form reduces the need for excessive volumes, making it cost-effective for bulk laboratory use. The 2.5L pack size is ideal for institutions and research facilities that require a steady supply without frequent reordering.
When working with fuming nitric acid, proper handling is critical. Always use it in a well-ventilated fume hood, wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat), and follow standard laboratory safety protocols. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances like organic materials or reducing agents.
For educational institutions, this reagent is perfect for demonstrating acid-base reactions, metal dissolution, and nitration processes. Researchers rely on it for sample digestion in ICP-MS or AAS analysis, where trace metal contamination must be minimized. The BAKER ANALYZED® label guarantees lot-to-lot consistency, so your experiments remain reproducible.

FAQs
What is the difference between fuming and regular nitric acid?
Fuming nitric acid contains dissolved nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), giving it a reddish-brown color and higher reactivity. It’s more concentrated (typically 86-90% HNO₃) than regular nitric acid (68-70%), but this product is diluted to 65% for safer handling while maintaining strong oxidizing properties.
Can I use this for gold testing?
Yes, fuming nitric acid is commonly used in aqua regia preparations (with hydrochloric acid) for dissolving noble metals like gold and platinum. However, always follow proper protocols for such applications.
How should I store this product?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. Keep the container tightly closed and in a secondary containment tray to prevent spills.
Is this suitable for HPLC sample preparation?
Absolutely. The BAKER ANALYZED® grade ensures low impurity levels, making it ideal for sample digestion before HPLC or other chromatographic techniques.
What’s the shelf life of this nitric acid?
When stored properly, it remains stable for 2-3 years. However, always check the expiration date on the label and inspect for any signs of degradation before use.
