Product Description
L-(-) Camphor Sulphonic Acid is a high-purity chiral resolving agent widely used in organic synthesis and laboratory research. With 99% purity, this extra pure grade chemical ensures reliable results in enantiomeric separations and catalytic reactions. Its crystalline form makes it easy to handle and measure for precise experimental setups.
This compound is particularly valued in asymmetric synthesis and as a chiral auxiliary in pharmaceutical research. Researchers and students working on stereochemistry or chiral molecule studies will find this product indispensable. The acid’s strong optical rotation properties make it a preferred choice for resolving racemic mixtures.
When you buy camphor sulfonic acid from eqipped, you get a product that meets strict quality standards. Our supply chain ensures proper storage and handling to maintain the chemical’s integrity. Whether you’re setting up a new experiment or restocking your lab, this is the ideal choice for consistent performance.
Key Applications
L-(-) Camphor Sulphonic Acid serves multiple critical roles in laboratory settings. It’s commonly used as a chiral resolving agent to separate enantiomers in organic compounds. The acid also functions as a catalyst in various organic reactions, particularly in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates.
In educational laboratories, this chemical helps demonstrate principles of stereochemistry and chiral resolution. Its predictable behavior and high purity make it suitable for both undergraduate experiments and advanced research projects. The compound’s solubility in polar solvents adds to its versatility in different reaction conditions.
Safety and Handling
While L-(-) Camphor Sulphonic Acid is generally stable under normal conditions, proper laboratory safety practices should always be followed. Store the chemical in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and safety goggles when handling.
The crystalline nature of this product means it can become airborne if not handled carefully. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood when weighing or transferring the chemical. Always consult the material safety data sheet before use and follow your institution’s chemical handling protocols.
Why This Product Stands Out
What sets this L-(-) Camphor Sulphonic Acid apart is its exceptional purity level of 99%. This high purity ensures minimal interference in sensitive reactions and more accurate experimental results. The product comes from Loba Chemie, a trusted name in laboratory chemicals, and is distributed through eqipped’s reliable supply chain.
The consistent quality across different batch sizes makes it ideal for both small-scale research and larger projects. Whether you’re a student learning chiral resolution techniques or a researcher developing new synthetic pathways, this product delivers the performance you need. The crystalline form also means you get precise measurements every time.
Choosing the Right Pack Size
Selecting the appropriate pack size depends on your specific requirements. The 25g option works well for occasional use in teaching labs or small research projects. If you’re conducting regular experiments, the 100g size offers better value. For high-throughput applications or shared laboratory use, the 500g pack provides the most economical solution.
Consider your storage capacity and usage rate when deciding. Remember that proper storage extends the chemical’s shelf life. eqipped offers all three sizes to accommodate different needs, ensuring you get exactly what your lab requires without unnecessary excess.
