Product Overview

ACETONE 99.8% for HPLC & UV Spectroscopy is a high-purity solvent engineered for demanding laboratory applications where precision and consistency are critical. This grade of acetone undergoes rigorous purification to ensure exceptionally low levels of UV-absorbing impurities, making it ideal for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. Its high volatility and excellent solvency power allow for rapid evaporation without leaving residual contaminants, ensuring accurate analytical results. The solvent is meticulously tested for water content, non-volatile matter, and absorbance at key wavelengths (220 nm, 254 nm, 280 nm) to meet stringent lab standards. Packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, this acetone maintains stability and purity throughout its shelf life. Whether used for mobile phase preparation in HPLC or as a cleaning agent for UV cuvettes, its consistent performance minimizes baseline noise and maximizes signal clarity. The 99.8% purity level guarantees reproducibility in sensitive applications, while its low moisture content prevents interference in moisture-sensitive reactions.

FAQs

1. What is the maximum absorbance limit for this acetone at 254 nm?

The absorbance at 254 nm is typically below 0.05 AU, ensuring minimal interference in UV spectroscopic measurements.

2. Can this acetone be used for residue-free cleaning of lab glassware?

Yes, its high volatility and low residue profile make it suitable for cleaning UV cuvettes, HPLC vials, and other lab glassware without leaving contaminants.

3. Is this acetone compatible with plastic labware like polypropylene or PTFE?

While acetone is generally safe for short-term contact with polypropylene, prolonged exposure may cause swelling or degradation. PTFE is highly resistant to acetone.

4. How should this acetone be stored to maintain its purity?

Store in a tightly sealed amber glass bottle at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and ignition points to prevent evaporation and contamination.

5. What alternatives exist if this grade of acetone is unavailable?

For HPLC applications, ACS-grade acetone (99.5%+) may be used as a substitute, though it may have slightly higher UV absorbance and impurity levels.
