FAQs
1. What is the exact melting range of this benzophenone standard?
The certified melting range is 47–49°C, verified through standardized testing procedures to ensure reliability in calibration applications.
2. Can this standard be used with digital melting point apparatus?
Yes, it is compatible with both manual and digital melting point apparatus, provided the equipment is properly calibrated and maintained.
3. Are there any storage conditions required to maintain its accuracy?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent contamination or hydration.
4. How does this compare to other melting point standards like vanillin or caffeine?
Benzophenone offers a lower melting range (47–49°C) compared to vanillin (~81°C) or caffeine (~236°C), making it suitable for calibrating lower-temperature applications.
5. Is this standard traceable to NIST or other reference materials?
While not directly NIST-traceable, it is manufactured under strict quality controls to meet ACS reagent specifications, ensuring consistency with industry standards.
