Perchloric acid is particularly valued in inorganic chemistry for its ability to dissolve refractory materials and its use in preparing samples for atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis.
The ULTREX® II designation indicates this product meets stringent purity standards, with trace metal levels typically below 0.01 ppm. This makes it ideal for applications where even minute contamination could compromise results.
When handling perchloric acid, proper safety protocols must be followed due to its corrosive and oxidizing properties. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment and work in a properly ventilated area.
FAQs
What makes ULTREX® II perchloric acid different from regular lab grade?
ULTREX® II perchloric acid undergoes additional purification steps to achieve ultra-low trace metal content, typically below 0.01 ppm for most metals. This makes it ideal for applications where even minute contamination could affect results, such as trace metal analysis.
Can I use this perchloric acid for cleaning laboratory glassware?
Yes, this ultrapure grade is excellent for cleaning glassware where metal contamination must be minimized. However, always follow proper safety protocols and rinse thoroughly with deionized water after cleaning.
What safety precautions should I take when using perchloric acid?
Always wear acid-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a properly functioning fume hood. Never store perchloric acid near organic materials or reducing agents. Have appropriate spill response materials readily available.
Is this perchloric acid suitable for ICP-MS sample preparation?
Absolutely. The ULTREX® II grade is specifically designed for applications like ICP-MS where ultra-low metal contamination is critical for accurate results.
How should I store perchloric acid to maintain its purity?
Store in its original container in a cool, dry place dedicated for acid storage. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination.
