Product Overview

NAPHTHALENE 99% Scintillation grade is a high-purity crystalline solid designed for specialized laboratory applications requiring minimal impurities. This grade is specifically formulated to ensure optimal performance in scintillation processes, where even trace contaminants can interfere with accuracy. The compound exhibits excellent thermal stability and a consistent melting point, making it reliable for repetitive experimental setups. Its low background radiation and high fluorescence efficiency make it a preferred choice for radiation detection and organic synthesis where precision is critical. The product is rigorously tested to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring reproducibility in research and analytical procedures. Its chemical structure, consisting of two fused benzene rings, provides a stable aromatic framework that resists degradation under standard lab conditions. This grade is free from common additives or stabilizers that could introduce variability, making it suitable for applications demanding high chemical purity. The crystalline form allows for easy handling and precise measurement, while its solubility in organic solvents facilitates seamless integration into various experimental protocols.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of this scintillation-grade naphthalene?

When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, this naphthalene retains its purity and performance characteristics for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Is this product compatible with common scintillation cocktails?

Yes, this 99% pure naphthalene is fully compatible with most commercial scintillation cocktails and solvents used in liquid scintillation counting systems.

3. Are there any known impurities in this grade?

The product undergoes rigorous purification to remove common impurities like anthracene, phenanthrene, and sulfur compounds, with total impurities typically below 0.5%.

4. What precautions should be taken during storage?

Store in a tightly sealed container in a well-ventilated area, away from oxidizing agents and ignition sources, as naphthalene is volatile and flammable.

5. Can this be used as a standard for calibration?

While primarily designed for scintillation applications, its high purity makes it suitable as a secondary standard for calibration in certain analytical techniques.
