Product Name – Acetone, 99+%, for spectroscopy Quantity/Pack Size – 2.5LT, 500ML Form – Liquid Grade – Spectroscopy (99%+) Application – Solvent for UV/Vis, HPLC, and general lab use
Product Overview
Acetone, 99%+ purity, is a high-grade solvent specifically formulated for spectroscopy applications, ensuring minimal interference in analytical procedures. This premium-grade acetone is rigorously purified to eliminate impurities, making it ideal for UV/Vis spectroscopy, HPLC, and other sensitive techniques where solvent clarity and consistency are critical. Its rapid evaporation rate and low residue properties enhance efficiency in sample preparation and equipment cleaning. The solvent is packaged in airtight containers to prevent contamination and degradation, maintaining its integrity until use. Compatible with most organic compounds, this acetone variant delivers reliable performance in both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Its high volatility and miscibility with water and organic solvents further broaden its utility in diverse laboratory workflows. Whether used for dissolving, degreasing, or as a reaction medium, this spectroscopy-grade acetone ensures reproducibility and accuracy in experimental outcomes.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of spectroscopy-grade acetone?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture, this acetone retains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this acetone be used for cleaning lab glassware?
Yes, its high purity and fast-evaporating nature make it effective for removing organic residues from glassware without leaving streaks or contaminants.
3. Is this acetone compatible with plastic containers?
Acetone dissolves many plastics, including polystyrene and acrylic. Use only with HDPE or glass containers for safe storage.
4. What alternatives exist for spectroscopy-grade solvents?
Methanol or ethanol (HPLC grade) can be alternatives, but acetone’s lower UV cutoff and volatility often make it the preferred choice for spectroscopy.
5. How should I dispose of unused acetone?
Follow local hazardous waste regulations. Small quantities can be evaporated in a fume hood, while larger volumes require professional disposal services.
