FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Acetone GPR RECTAPUR®?
When stored in tightly sealed original containers under recommended conditions, this acetone variant retains its specified purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the label for batch-specific expiry details.
2. Can this acetone be used with plastic labware?
Acetone is known to dissolve or degrade certain plastics like polystyrene and polycarbonate. Use it only with acetone-resistant materials such as glass, PTFE, or HDPE containers to prevent equipment damage.
3. How does GPR grade differ from HPLC grade acetone?
GPR grade acetone is suitable for general laboratory applications, while HPLC grade undergoes additional purification to meet high-performance liquid chromatography requirements. Choose GPR for routine tasks and HPLC for sensitive analytical techniques.
4. What safety precautions should be followed during handling?
Wear appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood to avoid inhalation, and ensure proper ventilation. Keep away from open flames due to its highly flammable nature.
5. Is this acetone suitable for DNA/RNA extraction protocols?
While acetone can be used in certain precipitation steps, its effectiveness depends on the specific protocol. For molecular biology applications, consider reagent-grade acetone with verified low nuclease contamination levels.
