Product Overview
This 99.6% ACS-grade acetone is a high-purity solvent specifically formulated for spectroscopy applications, ensuring minimal interference in analytical procedures. The ultra-low UV absorbance and tightly controlled impurity profile make it ideal for sensitive techniques like UV/Vis spectroscopy and HPLC sample preparation. Distilled under stringent conditions, it meets American Chemical Society (ACS) specifications, guaranteeing consistent performance in critical lab workflows. The solvent’s rapid evaporation rate and excellent solvency power for organic compounds further enhance its utility in sample cleanup and extraction processes. Packaged in high-density polyethylene containers to prevent contamination, this acetone maintains its purity throughout storage. The spectroscopy-grade designation ensures compliance with rigorous quality standards, making it a reliable choice for laboratories requiring reproducible results in optical measurements.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between ACS-grade and reagent-grade acetone?
ACS-grade acetone meets stricter purity standards set by the American Chemical Society, with tighter controls on impurities like water, aldehydes, and UV-absorbing compounds compared to general reagent-grade acetone.
2. Can this acetone be used for cleaning glassware before spectroscopy?
While primarily designed for spectroscopy applications, its high purity makes it suitable for final rinsing of glassware when residual contaminants could interfere with optical measurements.
3. How does the packaging prevent solvent degradation?
The high-density polyethylene containers are chemically resistant and feature airtight seals to minimize moisture absorption and volatile loss during storage.
4. What is the typical shelf life of unopened spectroscopy-grade acetone?
When stored in original, unopened containers at room temperature away from direct sunlight, the acetone maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
5. Are there any special disposal requirements for this grade of acetone?
Despite its high purity, it remains a flammable solvent requiring disposal through authorized chemical waste channels according to local environmental regulations for hazardous laboratory waste.
