Product Description
When your experiments demand precision, every detail matters—especially the purity of your reagents. These magnesium turnings, sourced from Thermofisher and graded as Puratronic™, deliver 99.98% metals basis purity, ensuring reliable results in even the most sensitive applications. Whether you’re synthesizing organic compounds, conducting educational demonstrations, or exploring advanced research, these turnings provide the consistency you need.
The 1cm (0.4in) and smaller size makes them easy to handle and measure, reducing waste while maximizing efficiency. Unlike lower-grade alternatives, this Puratronic™ quality minimizes impurities that could skew your data or compromise reactions. It’s the choice of researchers who refuse to compromise on quality.
At eqipped, we understand that lab supplies aren’t just products—they’re the foundation of your work. That’s why we offer these magnesium turnings in practical pack sizes (25g, 100g, and 500g) to match your project scale, whether you’re a student running a single experiment or a lab stocking up for ongoing research.

Why High-Purity Magnesium Turnings Matter
Not all magnesium turnings are created equal. In lab settings, impurities can lead to inconsistent reactions, unexpected byproducts, or even failed experiments. Here’s why this Puratronic™ grade stands out:
1. Unmatched Purity – At 99.98% metals basis, these turnings meet the strictest standards for analytical and research applications. You’ll notice fewer contaminants interfering with your results.
2. Consistent Performance – The uniform size (1cm and down) ensures even reaction rates, whether you’re using them in Grignard reactions or as a reducing agent.
3. Versatile Applications – From organic synthesis to educational chemistry labs, these turnings adapt to diverse needs without compromising quality.
4. Trusted Source – Backed by Thermofisher’s reputation, you’re getting a product that’s been rigorously tested for reliability.
For students and researchers alike, this means fewer repeated experiments, more accurate data, and ultimately, better outcomes.
Common Uses in Labs
Magnesium turnings are a staple in chemistry labs for good reason. Here’s where they shine:
Organic Synthesis – Essential for Grignard reagent preparation, a fundamental reaction in organic chemistry.
Reduction Reactions – Used to reduce compounds where other metals fall short, thanks to magnesium’s reactivity.
Educational Experiments – Perfect for demonstrating combustion, oxidation, or metal reactivity in classrooms.
Research Applications – Employed in advanced studies where high purity is non-negotiable.
If your work involves any of these areas, having a reliable supply of pure magnesium turnings isn’t just helpful—it’s necessary.
Safety and Handling
Risk Note: Magnesium turnings are highly flammable. Handle with care in a controlled environment. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and ignition sources. Always use appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles) and follow lab safety protocols.
For disposal, follow local regulations for chemical waste. Never dispose of magnesium turnings in regular trash or down drains.
Choosing the Right Pack Size
We offer three convenient sizes to fit your needs:
25g – Ideal for small-scale experiments or trial runs.
100g – A balanced choice for regular lab use without overstocking.
500g – Best for high-volume research or institutional labs.
Not sure which size to pick? Consider your typical experiment scale. It’s always better to have a little extra than to run out mid-reaction.
FAQs
What makes Puratronic™ magnesium turnings different from other grades?
Puratronic™ denotes ultra-high purity (99.98% metals basis), minimizing impurities that could affect experimental results. It’s the gold standard for research-grade magnesium.
Can I use these magnesium turnings for Grignard reactions?
Absolutely. Their high purity and consistent size make them ideal for preparing Grignard reagents, a common application in organic synthesis.
How should I store magnesium turnings to maintain their quality?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to moisture or air to prevent oxidation. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere.
Are these magnesium turnings suitable for educational labs?
Yes, they’re excellent for classroom demonstrations, though we recommend adult supervision due to their flammability. The 25g pack is perfect for student experiments.
What safety precautions should I take when using magnesium turnings?
Wear gloves and goggles, work in a fume hood if possible, and keep away from open flames. Have a Class D fire extinguisher nearby, as water can exacerbate magnesium fires.
