Product Overview
Lithium bromide, UltraDry™ (99.9% metals basis) is a high-purity, anhydrous salt designed for applications requiring minimal moisture interference. Its ultra-low water content makes it ideal for hygroscopic reactions, dehydration protocols, and specialized synthesis where trace moisture can compromise results. The UltraDry™ grade undergoes rigorous purification to eliminate residual solvents and metallic impurities, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive procedures. This product is packaged under inert conditions to preserve its anhydrous state, providing researchers with a reliable reagent for demanding experimental setups. Its fine powder form allows for precise weighing and rapid dissolution in compatible solvents. Whether used as a catalyst, drying agent, or reactant, this grade delivers reproducibility in high-stakes lab environments where purity is non-negotiable.
FAQs
1. What is the moisture content of UltraDry™ Lithium Bromide?
The UltraDry™ grade is processed to achieve ultra-low moisture levels, typically below 50 ppm, ensuring minimal water interference in sensitive applications.
2. Can this product be used directly in organic synthesis?
Yes, its 99.9% metals basis purity and anhydrous nature make it suitable for organic synthesis where moisture or metallic contaminants could affect yields or selectivity.
3. How should this be stored to maintain its anhydrous properties?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert gas (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a desiccator to prevent moisture absorption from ambient humidity.
4. Is this compatible with common laboratory solvents like THF or DMSO?
Lithium bromide is soluble in polar solvents like water, alcohols, and DMSO but has limited solubility in nonpolar solvents like THF without co-solvents.
5. What alternatives exist for less moisture-sensitive applications?
For applications where ultra-low moisture isn’t critical, standard-grade lithium bromide (99% purity) or lithium chloride may be cost-effective alternatives.
