FAQs
What is the difference between L-(+)-Tartaric Acid and regular tartaric acid?
L-(+)-Tartaric Acid is the naturally occurring enantiomer with specific optical rotation properties. Regular tartaric acid may contain a racemic mixture, while this AR grade ensures the pure L-form required for chiral applications.
Can this be used in food applications?
Yes, this extrapure grade meets food-grade specifications and is commonly used as an acidulant in beverages and confectionery. However, always verify with your specific regulatory requirements.
What is the shelf life of this product?
When stored properly in sealed containers at room temperature, this product maintains stability for 2-3 years. Check the batch-specific expiry date on your package.
Is this suitable for HPLC applications?
Absolutely. The high purity and low UV absorbance make it ideal for HPLC mobile phases and as a chiral selector in chromatographic separations.
