Form – Liquid
Grade – AnalaR NORMAPUR® (Analytical Reagent)
Application – Titration, solvent extraction, organic synthesis
Product Overview
This 100% pure AnalaR NORMAPUR® acetic acid is a high-grade analytical reagent designed for demanding laboratory applications. As a glacial acetic acid variant, it offers exceptional purity with minimal impurities, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in critical procedures. The AnalaR certification guarantees compliance with stringent analytical standards, making it suitable for quantitative analysis where precision is paramount. Its low water content (typically <0.1%) and absence of heavy metal contaminants provide a stable baseline for titrations and organic synthesis reactions. The reagent's high volatility and characteristic pungent odor necessitate proper handling in fume hoods, while its miscibility with water and organic solvents enhances its versatility. Packaged in chemically resistant containers, this acetic acid maintains its integrity during storage and transportation. The NORMAPUR® designation further assures consistent performance across batches, eliminating variability concerns in long-term research projects or quality control testing.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between AnalaR and regular acetic acid?
AnalaR grade acetic acid undergoes stricter purification processes and meets more rigorous analytical standards than standard commercial grades. It contains significantly lower levels of metal impurities and has a guaranteed assay of 99.8-100.2%, whereas regular acetic acid may have wider purity tolerances.
2. Can this acetic acid be used for HPLC mobile phase preparation?
While this reagent is highly pure, HPLC applications typically require specialized LC-MS grade solvents. For HPLC mobile phases, consider using acetic acid specifically labeled for chromatography to avoid potential interference from residual impurities that might be present even in AnalaR grade reagents.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this product?
Always handle in a well-ventilated fume hood wearing appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. The concentrated acid can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. In case of contact, immediately rinse with copious amounts of water and seek medical attention.
4. How should this acetic acid be stored for long-term use?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances like strong oxidizers or bases. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and evaporation. For extended storage, consider transferring to smaller amber glass bottles to minimize air exposure.
5. Is this product compatible with plastic containers?
Concentrated acetic acid can degrade many plastics over time. For short-term storage, HDPE containers may be suitable, but for long-term storage, glass or PTFE-lined containers are recommended to prevent contamination from plastic leachates.
