Product Overview
Acetone, 99.8% pure and specifically formulated for HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), is a premium-grade solvent designed to meet the rigorous demands of analytical laboratories. This high-purity acetone undergoes stringent purification processes to eliminate impurities, ensuring minimal UV absorbance and residue, which are critical for accurate chromatographic separations. Its low water content and absence of stabilizers make it an ideal choice for sensitive applications where solvent purity directly impacts results. The solvent’s fast evaporation rate and excellent solvency power further enhance its utility in sample preparation, solvent extraction, and equipment cleaning. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers, this HPLC-grade acetone maintains its integrity during storage and handling, preventing contamination or degradation. Whether used as a mobile phase component or for diluting samples, its consistent performance ensures reproducibility in analytical workflows. Compatible with most lab-grade materials, it is a versatile and reliable solvent for researchers prioritizing precision and reliability in their experiments.
