Product Overview

ALUMINON AR is a specialized analytical reagent formulated for the precise detection and qualitative analysis of aluminum ions in laboratory settings. As an AR (Analytical Reagent) grade chemical, it meets stringent purity standards, ensuring minimal interference and highly reliable results in colorimetric or complexometric tests. The powder form allows for easy dissolution and uniform reaction, making it ideal for standard protocols in inorganic chemistry. Its stability under controlled conditions ensures long shelf life without degradation, provided it is stored away from moisture and direct light. The reagent’s selective binding with aluminum ions produces a distinct color change, enabling clear visual or spectrophotometric confirmation. Whether used in educational labs for demonstration purposes or in research for preliminary screening, ALUMINON AR delivers consistency and accuracy, reducing the need for repetitive testing. The absence of common contaminants like heavy metals or insoluble particles further enhances its suitability for sensitive applications. For optimal performance, always use freshly prepared solutions and adhere to recommended concentrations as per the specific assay requirements.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of ALUMINON AR when stored properly?

The reagent remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry place in its original tightly sealed container. Exposure to humidity or temperature fluctuations may reduce its effectiveness over time.

2. Can ALUMINON AR be used for quantitative aluminum analysis?

While primarily designed for qualitative detection, it can be adapted for semi-quantitative estimates under controlled conditions using standardized curves. For precise quantitative analysis, complementary techniques like AAS or ICP-OES are recommended.

3. Is this reagent compatible with automated colorimeters?

Yes, the colorimetric reaction produced by ALUMINON AR can be measured using standard spectrophotometers or automated colorimeters, provided the wavelength is calibrated to the reagent’s absorption peak, typically in the visible range.

4. What alternatives exist if ALUMINON AR is unavailable?

Alternatives include aurin tricarboxylic acid (aluminon) or other aluminum-specific chelating agents like 8-hydroxyquinoline. However, sensitivity and reaction conditions may vary, requiring protocol adjustments.

5. How should unused ALUMINON AR be disposed of?

Follow local laboratory waste disposal guidelines for chemical reagents. Small quantities can be neutralized if applicable, but larger amounts should be collected as hazardous waste and disposed of through authorized channels.
