Product Overview
Sodium acetate trihydrate (CH₃COONa·3H₂O) is a high-purity, crystalline salt widely used in laboratory settings for its buffering capacity and stability. This AnalaR NORMAPUR® ACS-grade reagent meets stringent quality standards, ensuring consistent performance in critical applications. With a purity of ≥99%, it is free from impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions or measurements. The trihydrate form provides enhanced solubility in water, making it ideal for preparing buffer solutions, adjusting pH levels, and serving as a reagent in analytical chemistry. Its stable nature and low hygroscopicity ensure long shelf life when stored properly in a cool, dry environment. The product complies with ACS specifications and European Pharmacopoeia standards, guaranteeing reliability for research and testing protocols. The fine, free-flowing powder dissolves rapidly, minimizing preparation time while maintaining accuracy in experimental setups.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of this sodium acetate trihydrate in water?
This product is highly soluble in water, with approximately 365 g/L solubility at 20°C, forming a clear, colorless solution.
2. Can this be used for DNA extraction protocols?
Yes, the high purity and low impurity profile make it suitable for molecular biology applications, including DNA extraction buffers.
3. How does this compare to anhydrous sodium acetate?
The trihydrate form contains three water molecules per sodium acetate unit, offering better solubility but slightly lower active content by weight compared to anhydrous forms.
4. What is the recommended storage condition?
Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature (15-25°C) away from moisture and incompatible substances to maintain stability.
5. Is this product compatible with ethanol or methanol?
It exhibits moderate solubility in ethanol (about 6 g/L at 25°C) but is less soluble in methanol, making it more suitable for aqueous systems.
