Product Overview
Ammonium acetate, ACS grade with a minimum purity of 97.0%, is a highly versatile crystalline powder widely used in laboratory settings. This reagent-grade compound offers exceptional solubility in water, making it ideal for preparing buffer solutions and facilitating protein crystallization processes. Its ACS certification ensures stringent quality control, meeting the rigorous standards required for analytical applications. The compound’s neutral pH when dissolved in water provides a stable environment for sensitive biochemical reactions. As a volatile salt, ammonium acetate decomposes upon heating, leaving no residual ions, which is particularly advantageous in mass spectrometry applications. The product comes in a fine, free-flowing powder form that dissolves rapidly without clumping, ensuring consistent results in experimental procedures. Its hygroscopic nature requires proper storage conditions to maintain purity and effectiveness over time. This high-quality ammonium acetate serves as a reliable choice for laboratories demanding precision and reproducibility in their chemical processes.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of this ammonium acetate in water at room temperature?
Ammonium acetate exhibits high solubility in water, typically dissolving at a rate of 148 g/100 mL at 20°C, forming a clear, colorless solution.
2. How does the ACS grade differ from other grades of ammonium acetate?
ACS grade meets the strict purity standards set by the American Chemical Society, ensuring minimal impurities and consistent performance in analytical applications compared to technical or reagent grades.
3. Can this product be used for preparing mobile phases in HPLC?
Yes, the high purity and low UV absorbance of this ACS-grade ammonium acetate make it suitable for HPLC mobile phase preparation, particularly in reverse-phase chromatography.
4. What are the proper storage conditions for maintaining product quality?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances to prevent degradation and maintain the 97% minimum purity.
5. Is this ammonium acetate compatible with common organic solvents?
The compound shows good solubility in methanol and ethanol, though its primary solvent compatibility remains with water for most laboratory applications.
