Product Overview
Iron(III) nitrate hydrate from the Puratronic™ line represents the pinnacle of purity for iron-based reagents, offering 99.999% metals basis purity with rigorously controlled trace impurities. This hydrated crystalline form maintains exceptional stability while delivering consistent performance in demanding laboratory applications. The material undergoes advanced purification processes to eliminate metallic contaminants, ensuring reliable results in trace analysis, synthesis of high-purity compounds, and calibration standards. Its defined hydration level provides predictable stoichiometry in reactions, while the ultra-low impurity profile minimizes interference in sensitive analytical techniques. The Puratronic™ grade is particularly valued in applications where even parts-per-million levels of contaminants could compromise experimental outcomes. Packaged under controlled conditions to prevent moisture absorption and contamination, this reagent arrives in its specified crystalline form ready for immediate use. The 99.999% metals basis specification guarantees that iron remains the dominant component, with all other metallic elements collectively constituting less than 10 ppm of the total composition.
FAQs
1
What is the difference between Puratronic™ grade and standard reagent grade iron(III) nitrate?
Puratronic™ grade undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.999% metals basis purity, with total metallic impurities below 10 ppm, compared to standard grades which typically contain hundreds of ppm of impurities.
2
Can this product be used for preparing iron oxide nanoparticles?
The ultra-high purity makes it suitable for nanoparticle synthesis where metallic impurities could affect particle formation or final properties.
3
How should this be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert atmosphere when possible, at room temperature, away from moisture and reducing agents.
4
What is the typical moisture content of this hydrate?
The hydration level corresponds to the nonahydrate form (Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O), with water content typically around 35-37% by weight.
5
Are there any special handling precautions for this high-purity material?
Use dedicated, clean tools to avoid cross-contamination, and minimize exposure to air during weighing to prevent moisture absorption that could alter the precise stoichiometry.
