Product Overview

Acetone Reference Standard is a high-purity solvent designed for critical laboratory applications where precision and consistency are paramount. This analytical-grade acetone undergoes rigorous purification processes to eliminate impurities, ensuring reliable results in chromatography, spectroscopy, and calibration procedures. Its low UV absorbance and minimal residue make it ideal for sensitive analytical techniques, including HPLC, GC, and FTIR. The solvent’s high volatility and excellent solvency power allow for efficient sample preparation and equipment cleaning. Packaged in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, this reference standard maintains stability and integrity over extended storage periods. Whether used as a mobile phase in chromatographic separations or as a calibration reference, its consistent composition guarantees reproducibility in experimental workflows. The product adheres to strict quality control measures, with batch-specific certificates of analysis provided for traceability. Its compatibility with most organic compounds and polar solvents further enhances its versatility in laboratory settings.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Acetone Reference Standard when stored properly?

The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ignition sources.

2. Can this acetone be used as a general-purpose solvent for cleaning lab glassware?

While it is highly pure, it is primarily formulated as a reference standard for analytical applications rather than general cleaning, though it can be used for rinsing high-precision glassware.

3. Is this product compatible with plastic containers or tubing?

Acetone can dissolve or degrade many plastics, including polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Use only with acetone-resistant materials like PTFE or glass.

4. How does this reference standard differ from reagent-grade acetone?

Reference standards undergo additional purification steps to meet stricter impurity limits and are certified for specific analytical parameters, unlike reagent-grade acetone.

5. What documentation is provided with this product for quality assurance?

Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) detailing purity levels, trace impurities, and lot-specific data to ensure compliance with analytical standards.
