Product Name – Calcium acetate hydrate, Puratronic™, 99.9965% (metals basis) Quantity/Pack Size – 25g, 5g Form – Hydrated crystalline powder Grade – Puratronic™ (99.9965% metals basis) Application – Trace metal analysis, high-precision research
Product Overview
Calcium acetate hydrate in Puratronic™ grade delivers exceptional purity at 99.9965% (metals basis), making it a critical reagent for applications demanding ultra-low trace metal contamination. This hydrated crystalline powder is meticulously processed to eliminate metallic impurities, ensuring reliable results in sensitive analytical procedures. The compound’s high solubility in water and stability under controlled conditions make it versatile for various laboratory protocols. Its Puratronic™ certification guarantees consistency across batches, reducing variability in experimental outcomes. The product is packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption and contamination during storage. Researchers working with advanced instrumentation or developing specialized formulations will find this grade particularly valuable for maintaining data integrity. The 25g and 5g pack sizes offer flexibility for both small-scale testing and larger experimental setups. As a calcium source with minimal interfering elements, this reagent supports precise stoichiometric calculations in chemical synthesis. The hydrate form provides additional stability compared to anhydrous alternatives, extending shelf life when stored properly.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ grade and standard calcium acetate?
Puratronic™ grade undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.9965% purity on a metals basis, significantly reducing trace metal contaminants that could interfere with sensitive analyses. Standard grades typically contain higher levels of impurities.
2. Can this product be used for preparing buffer solutions?
Yes, the high purity and consistent composition make it suitable for buffer preparation where precise pH control and minimal ionic interference are required.
3. How should I store this chemical to maintain its purity?
Store in a cool, dry place in its original tightly sealed container. Avoid exposure to humidity which could alter the hydration state or introduce contaminants.
4. Is this calcium acetate compatible with glassware and standard lab plastics?
The compound is generally compatible with borosilicate glass and most laboratory-grade plastics like PP and HDPE, but always verify with your specific container materials.
5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring anhydrous calcium acetate?
For anhydrous requirements, consider calcium acetate anhydrous (99.999% purity) from the same Puratronic™ line, though the hydrate form offers better stability for most applications.
