Product Overview
Lactic acid (ARS, ACS grade) is a high-purity, optically active organic acid widely used in laboratory settings for its precise chemical properties. This grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for analytical applications where accuracy is critical. The solution typically contains 85-90% lactic acid, offering a balance between concentration and ease of handling. Its clear, colorless appearance allows for straightforward visual inspection, while its stable shelf life ensures long-term usability. The ARS (Analytical Reagent Standard) and ACS (American Chemical Society) certifications guarantee compliance with stringent quality benchmarks, providing researchers with reliable and reproducible results. This product is particularly valued for its role in biochemical assays, pH regulation, and as a reagent in various chemical reactions. The 500 ml pack size offers convenience for both small-scale experiments and routine laboratory procedures. Proper storage in a cool, dry place maintains its integrity, while the tightly sealed container prevents contamination and evaporation.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between ARS and ACS grades in lactic acid?
ARS (Analytical Reagent Standard) and ACS (American Chemical Society) grades both indicate high purity, but ACS follows stricter specifications set by the American Chemical Society for laboratory reagents.
2. Can this lactic acid be used for food or pharmaceutical applications?
This product is specifically formulated for laboratory use and is not certified for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic applications.
3. How should I store lactic acid to maintain its quality?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances like strong oxidizing agents.
4. Is this lactic acid optically active?
Yes, lactic acid is naturally optically active, and this ARS/ACS-grade product maintains its chiral purity for precise experimental results.
5. What precautions should I take while handling lactic acid?
Wear appropriate protective gear, including gloves and goggles, as lactic acid can cause skin and eye irritation. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood.
