Product Overview
ACETIC ACID GLACIAL 99.8% For HPLC is a high-purity solvent designed for demanding laboratory applications, particularly in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This glacial acetic acid undergoes rigorous purification to ensure minimal impurities, making it ideal for sensitive analytical techniques where consistency and reliability are critical. Its 99.8% purity level guarantees low background interference, enhancing the accuracy of chromatographic separations. The solvent’s low water content and high clarity further contribute to its suitability for precise sample preparation and mobile phase modification. Packaged in high-quality, leak-proof containers, it maintains stability and prevents contamination during storage. Whether used as a mobile phase additive or for pH adjustment, this HPLC-grade acetic acid delivers reproducible results, ensuring compliance with stringent laboratory standards.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of HPLC-grade acetic acid?
When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, this product retains its purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this acetic acid be used for LC-MS applications?
Yes, its high purity and low impurity profile make it compatible with LC-MS workflows, though additional filtration may be required depending on the instrument’s sensitivity.
3. Is this product compatible with glass and plastic labware?
It is safe for use with borosilicate glass and most HPLC-grade plastics like PTFE or PP. Avoid prolonged contact with metals or rubber seals to prevent corrosion or degradation.
4. How does this compare to ACS-grade acetic acid?
HPLC-grade acetic acid undergoes stricter purification to remove UV-absorbing impurities, making it superior for chromatographic applications compared to ACS-grade, which is more general-purpose.
5. What precautions should be taken during handling?
Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and work in a fume hood due to its corrosive nature. Neutralize spills with sodium bicarbonate and dispose of waste as per local hazardous material guidelines.
