Key Applications
This high-purity boric acid is indispensable in:
- Analytical chemistry for buffer preparation and pH standardization.
- Nuclear applications as a neutron absorber in radiation shielding.
- Flame retardant research and material testing.
- Trace metal analysis where ultra-low impurity levels are critical.
- Educational labs for demonstrating acid-base reactions and crystallization.
Why This Grade Matters
Not all boric acid is created equal. The 99.9999% Suprapur designation means this product has been purified to remove metals, anions, and organic residues that could interfere with sensitive assays. For labs running ICP-MS, AAS, or other high-sensitivity techniques, this grade eliminates background noise and false positives.
Compared to technical or reagent grades, Suprapur boric acid offers:
- Lower detection limits in analytical procedures.
- Consistent batch-to-batch performance.
- Compliance with pharmacopeia and ISO standards.
Safety and Handling
Risk Note: Boric acid is harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through skin. Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat) and handle in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. In case of accidental exposure, rinse immediately with water and seek medical attention. Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances.
FAQs
What is the difference between Suprapur and analytical-grade boric acid?
Suprapur is Merck’s highest purity grade, specifically designed for trace analysis where even ppb-level impurities matter. While standard analytical-grade boric acid is suitable for most lab work, Suprapur ensures minimal interference in ultra-sensitive techniques like ICP-OES or mass spectrometry.
Can this boric acid be used for medical or pharmaceutical applications?
This product is laboratory-grade and not intended for medical, pharmaceutical, or food applications. For such uses, consult Merck’s pharmacopeia-grade products or relevant regulatory guidelines.
How should I store Boric Acid 99.9999% Suprapur to maintain its purity?
Store the unopened container in a dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15–25°C). After opening, keep the bottle tightly sealed and use a clean, dry scoop to avoid contamination. Hygroscopic materials like boric acid can absorb moisture, so minimize exposure to humid air.
Is this product suitable for preparing borate buffers for electrophoresis?
Yes, this ultra-pure grade is excellent for preparing borate buffers used in DNA/RNA electrophoresis. Its low impurity profile prevents ionic interference, ensuring sharp band resolution in gels.
Does eqipped provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for this product?
Yes, every batch of Boric Acid 99.9999% Suprapur from eqipped comes with a Merck-supplied Certificate of Analysis detailing purity levels, trace impurities, and compliance with relevant standards. Contact our support team if you need additional documentation.
