Product Description
L (+) Tartaric Acid Cryst. Pure 99.0% is a high-quality, optically active organic acid widely used in laboratories, food industries, and pharmaceutical research. Known for its strong acidic properties and chiral structure, this lab-grade tartaric acid is essential for applications requiring precise pH control, enantiomeric purity, or as a resolving agent in chemical synthesis.
Whether you’re a student conducting experiments, a researcher developing new compounds, or an educator demonstrating organic chemistry principles, this pure tartaric acid ensures reliable results. Its crystalline form dissolves easily in water, making it convenient for buffer solutions, titration experiments, and food-grade applications like wine production or baking powder formulations.
At eqipped, we prioritize purity and consistency, ensuring every batch meets strict laboratory standards. Our L (+) Tartaric Acid is sourced from trusted manufacturers and undergoes rigorous quality checks to guarantee 99.0% purity, free from impurities that could interfere with your work.

Key Applications
L (+) Tartaric Acid is versatile in both academic and industrial settings. Here’s how professionals and students use it:
Laboratory Research: Acts as a resolving agent for separating racemic mixtures, a buffer in biochemical assays, and a standard in titration experiments. Its chiral nature makes it invaluable in stereochemistry studies.
Food and Beverage Industry: Used as an acidulant in soft drinks, candies, and baking powders. In winemaking, it stabilizes color and enhances flavor by adjusting acidity.
Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in tablet formulations, helping control drug release rates. It’s also a key ingredient in effervescent medications.
Education: Ideal for teaching organic chemistry concepts like optical activity, stereoisomerism, and acid-base reactions. Safe for classroom demonstrations when handled properly.
Safety and Handling
While L (+) Tartaric Acid is generally safe, proper handling ensures longevity and safety:
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources.
Handling: Wear gloves and safety goggles when measuring or transferring the powder. Though non-toxic, it can cause mild skin or eye irritation in sensitive individuals.
Disposal: Follow local laboratory waste disposal guidelines. Neutralize with a weak base before disposal if required.
Risk Note: For laboratory use only. Not for human consumption unless specifically formulated for food/pharmaceutical applications. Keep out of reach of children.
Why This Product Stands Out
Not all tartaric acid is created equal. Here’s what sets our L (+) Tartaric Acid Cryst. Pure 99.0% apart:
High Purity: 99.0% purity ensures minimal interference in experiments, unlike technical-grade alternatives that may contain traces of metals or other acids.
Consistent Quality: Batch-tested for optical rotation and acidity, so you get the same reliable performance every time.
Versatile Packaging: Available in a 500g pack—ideal for small-scale research, classroom use, or pilot projects without excess waste.
Trusted by Professionals: Used in universities, R&D labs, and food testing facilities across India. eqipped’s commitment to quality means you focus on your work, not your supplies.

FAQs
What is the difference between L (+) and DL Tartaric Acid?
L (+) Tartaric Acid is the naturally occurring, optically active form (levorotatory), while DL Tartaric Acid is a racemic mixture of L and D forms. L (+) is preferred for chiral synthesis and food applications due to its specific optical properties.
Can this tartaric acid be used in food products?
Yes, this lab-grade product meets purity standards for food applications, but ensure compliance with local food safety regulations (FSSAI in India) if used in consumables. For bulk food-grade needs, contact eqipped for specialized options.
How do I prepare a 0.1M tartaric acid solution?
Dissolve 15.01g of L (+) Tartaric Acid in 1 liter of distilled water. Stir until fully dissolved, then adjust the pH if needed. Always use a calibrated balance for accurate measurements.
Is this product suitable for HPLC or GC analysis?
While it’s high-purity, for HPLC/GC, we recommend our HPLC-grade Tartaric Acid to avoid potential interference from trace impurities. This product is ideal for general lab and synthesis work.
What’s the shelf life of L (+) Tartaric Acid?
When stored properly in a sealed container, it remains stable for 2–3 years. Check for clumping or discoloration before use, as these indicate moisture exposure.
