Key Applications
This high-purity nitric acid is commonly used for:
- Trace metal analysis in environmental and food samples
- Sample digestion for ICP-OES and ICP-MS techniques
- Cleaning and passivating laboratory glassware
- Preparing reagents for spectrophotometric analysis
- Academic research requiring ultra-low mercury content
Why This Grade Matters
Not all nitric acid is created equal. The “For Analysis” designation means this product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure:
- Consistent 65% concentration with tight tolerances
- Mercury content controlled at 0.005ppm for sensitive applications
- Low levels of other trace metal impurities
- Batch-to-batch reproducibility for reliable results
For educational institutions, this grade helps students learn proper analytical techniques without compromising on quality. Researchers can trust their data when using reagents that meet international standards.
Safety and Handling
While this product is essential for many lab procedures, proper handling is crucial:
- Always add acid to water, never the reverse
- Use in a fume hood or well-ventilated area
- Store in a dedicated acid cabinet away from bases and organics
- Neutralize spills immediately with sodium bicarbonate
Our team at eqipped can provide safety data sheets and handling guidelines upon request. We’re committed to helping you maintain a safe laboratory environment.

FAQs
What’s the difference between 65% and 70% nitric acid?
While both are concentrated, 65% offers a better balance for most analytical applications. It provides sufficient strength for digestion while being slightly less hazardous to handle than 70% concentrations. The 0.005ppm Hg specification is what truly sets this product apart for trace analysis.
Can this nitric acid be used for cleaning lab equipment?
Yes, it’s excellent for cleaning glassware when diluted appropriately. A 10% solution is commonly used for removing organic residues and passivating stainless steel. Always rinse thoroughly with deionized water afterward.
How should I store this product?
Store in its original container at room temperature (15-25°C), away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of moisture.
Is this suitable for food testing laboratories?
Absolutely. The ultra-low mercury content (0.005ppm) makes it ideal for food safety testing where trace metal analysis is required. Many accredited food testing labs use this exact grade.
What’s the shelf life of this nitric acid?
When stored properly, this product maintains its specifications for at least 2 years from the date of manufacture. Always check the certificate of analysis for the exact expiration date of your batch.
