Product Overview
This Puratronic™ grade barium acetate delivers exceptional 99.999% purity (metals basis), making it a critical reagent for applications demanding ultra-low trace metal contamination. The crystalline powder form ensures consistent solubility and precise dosing in laboratory protocols. Unlike standard grades, this material undergoes rigorous purification to eliminate metallic impurities, providing reliable baseline measurements in analytical techniques like ICP-MS or AAS. Its high assay guarantees reproducibility in synthesis reactions where barium ion presence must be strictly controlled. The product’s stability under normal lab conditions allows for long-term storage without degradation of purity. Researchers will appreciate the batch-to-batch consistency, as each lot is certified with comprehensive metal analysis data. The fine particle size distribution facilitates rapid dissolution in aqueous solutions while maintaining the integrity of the barium acetate structure. This grade is particularly valued in semiconductor manufacturing and advanced materials research where trace metal specifications are critical to final product performance.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard barium acetate grades?
The Puratronic™ grade offers 99.999% purity with certified trace metal analysis, while standard grades typically contain higher levels of metallic impurities and lower overall purity.
2. Can this barium acetate be used for preparing analytical standards?
Yes, its ultra-high purity and documented metal impurity profile make it suitable for preparing analytical standards, particularly for techniques sensitive to trace metal contamination.
3. What solvents is this barium acetate soluble in?
The product is freely soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol, with solubility characteristics typical of high-purity barium salts.
4. How should this material be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances to prevent moisture absorption and potential contamination.
5. Is this product compatible with glass laboratory equipment?
Yes, it can be safely handled in standard borosilicate glassware, though prolonged contact with highly alkaline solutions may require special consideration.
