Product Overview

Ammonium Thiocyanate 98% Extra Pure is a high-grade, water-soluble crystalline compound widely used in laboratory settings for its reliability in analytical procedures. This reagent-grade salt ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for titration, complexometric analysis, and organic synthesis. Its high solubility in water (up to 163 g/100 mL at 20°C) allows for easy preparation of standard solutions, while its stability under normal storage conditions ensures long-term usability. The 98% purity level guarantees consistent results in qualitative and quantitative experiments, particularly in redox reactions and as a ligand in coordination chemistry. The product is packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption, preserving its integrity. Whether used as a primary standard or in volumetric analysis, this ammonium thiocyanate variant meets stringent lab requirements, offering reproducibility and accuracy in research applications.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Ammonium Thiocyanate 98%?

When stored in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container, this product remains stable for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture. Avoid exposure to humidity to prevent caking.

2. Is this grade suitable for HPLC or spectroscopy?

While this 98% extra pure grade is ideal for general lab use, it may not meet the ultra-low impurity thresholds required for HPLC or UV spectroscopy. For such applications, consider ACS or spectrophotometric-grade alternatives.

3. Can it be used as a substitute for potassium thiocyanate?

Yes, ammonium thiocyanate can replace potassium thiocyanate in most reactions, though solubility and ionic strength may vary slightly. Adjust concentrations accordingly for equivalent molar ratios.

4. How should I dispose of unused or expired product?

Dissolve in water and neutralize with a mild oxidizing agent (e.g., sodium hypochlorite) before disposal. Follow local hazardous waste regulations for chemical disposal.

5. Does this product require any special storage conditions?

Store at room temperature (15–30°C) in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances like strong acids or oxidizers. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
