Product Overview
PESTINORM® Supra Trace Acetone is an ultra-high-purity solvent engineered for demanding organic trace analysis applications where residual contamination must be minimized. This HPLC-grade acetone undergoes rigorous purification processes to achieve ≤1 ppm total residue content, ensuring uncompromised accuracy in sensitive analytical procedures. Its exceptional purity profile makes it particularly suitable for pesticide residue analysis, environmental testing, and other trace-level determinations where solvent interference could compromise results. The solvent’s low water content (<0.05%) and absence of UV-absorbing impurities at wavelengths above 230 nm provide reliable baseline stability in chromatographic applications. Packaged in specially treated containers to prevent leaching, this acetone maintains its ultra-low contamination levels throughout storage. The product's consistency is verified through comprehensive quality control testing, including GC-MS analysis for volatile impurities and ICP-MS screening for metal contaminants. For laboratories requiring the highest solvent purity standards, this Supra Trace acetone delivers reproducible performance in critical analytical workflows.
FAQs
1. What distinguishes PESTINORM® Supra Trace Acetone from standard HPLC-grade acetone?
The Supra Trace grade undergoes additional purification steps to achieve ≤1 ppm total residue content, compared to standard HPLC-grade acetone which typically has 5-10 ppm residue levels. This makes it specifically suitable for ultra-sensitive trace analysis where solvent purity is critical.
2. Can this acetone be used for LC-MS applications without causing ion suppression?
Yes, the ultra-low impurity profile and absence of ionizable contaminants make it highly compatible with LC-MS applications, minimizing ion suppression effects that could interfere with accurate mass spectrometry detection.
3. What is the typical shelf life when stored under recommended conditions?
When stored in its original, tightly sealed container at room temperature (15-25°C) and protected from direct sunlight, the product maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Are there any special handling precautions required for this ultra-pure acetone?
While standard acetone handling precautions apply, it’s recommended to use dedicated glassware that has been rinsed with the same solvent to prevent cross-contamination from residual impurities in laboratory equipment.
5. How does the packaging prevent contamination during storage?
The solvent is packaged in specially treated borosilicate glass bottles with PTFE-faced seals to prevent leaching of container materials and maintain the ultra-low contamination levels throughout the product’s shelf life.
