FAQs
1. What is the difference between citric acid monohydrate and anhydrous citric acid?
Citric acid monohydrate contains one molecule of water per citric acid molecule, while anhydrous citric acid has no water content. The monohydrate form is more stable under normal storage conditions.
2. Can this product be used for food or pharmaceutical applications?
This product is specifically graded for HPLC and laboratory use. For food or pharmaceutical applications, a different grade with appropriate certifications would be required.
3. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
4. Is this citric acid compatible with common HPLC solvents?
Yes, it is compatible with most HPLC solvents, including water, methanol, and acetonitrile, making it suitable for mobile phase preparation.
5. What is the shelf life of this product?
The shelf life is typically 2-3 years when stored under recommended conditions. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
