Product Description
When precision matters in your lab, the Sulfuric Acid, 0.5 N Volumetric Solution (BAKER ANALYZED® Reagent) from Avantor is the go-to choice for researchers, students, and educators. This ready-to-use solution eliminates the hassle of manual dilution, ensuring consistent accuracy in titrations and other analytical procedures. Whether you’re standardizing bases, determining alkalinity, or conducting routine lab experiments, this high-purity reagent delivers reliable results every time.
The BAKER ANALYZED® designation guarantees stringent quality control, meeting the exacting standards required for critical applications. Unlike generic sulfuric acid solutions, this volumetric solution is pre-standardized to 0.5 N, saving you time and reducing potential errors in your workflow. It’s an essential addition to any lab inventory where reproducibility and precision are non-negotiable.
For educational institutions, this solution simplifies practical demonstrations, allowing students to focus on technique rather than preparation. Researchers will appreciate its consistency in repetitive analyses, while quality control labs can depend on its traceability and documented purity.

Why This Volumetric Solution Stands Out
Not all sulfuric acid solutions are created equal. This BAKER ANALYZED® reagent is specifically formulated for volumetric analysis, with each batch tested to confirm its normality. The 0.5 N concentration is ideal for a wide range of titrations, from environmental water testing to pharmaceutical assays. Its stability and long shelf life make it a cost-effective choice for labs with intermittent usage patterns.
Compared to preparing solutions in-house, this pre-made option reduces exposure risks and ensures compliance with lab safety protocols. The 1 L pack size is perfect for moderate to high-volume labs, balancing convenience with storage efficiency. Plus, the clear labeling and batch-specific documentation make inventory management straightforward.
Applications in Real-World Labs
This versatile reagent finds applications across multiple disciplines:
- Academic labs: Student experiments in quantitative analysis
- Environmental testing: Water hardness and alkalinity determinations
- Pharmaceutical QC: Assay validations and stability studies
- Food industry: Acid content analysis in beverages and processed foods
- Research facilities: Standardization of sodium hydroxide solutions
Its consistent performance makes it particularly valuable in GLP/GMP environments where documentation and reproducibility are critical. The solution’s compatibility with automatic titrators further enhances its utility in modern analytical labs.
Safety and Handling Considerations
While this is a diluted solution, sulfuric acid remains a corrosive substance requiring proper handling. Always wear appropriate PPE including acid-resistant gloves and eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood when transferring the solution. In case of spills, neutralize with sodium bicarbonate before cleanup. Store in a dedicated acid cabinet away from incompatible materials like organic compounds and strong bases.

FAQs
What does 0.5 N mean in this sulfuric acid solution?
The “0.5 N” indicates the solution’s normality, meaning it contains 0.5 equivalents of H+ ions per liter. For sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), this corresponds to a 0.25 M concentration, as each molecule can donate two protons.
Can I use this solution directly for titration without further dilution?
Yes, this is a ready-to-use volumetric solution standardized to 0.5 N. You can use it directly for titrations after proper calibration of your equipment.
How should I store this sulfuric acid solution to maintain its stability?
Store the tightly sealed bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The recommended storage temperature is 15-30°C. Always keep the container in a secondary containment tray.
Is this BAKER ANALYZED® reagent suitable for USP/NF applications?
While this is a high-purity reagent, for specific USP/NF applications, we recommend verifying with the current monograph requirements or contacting our technical team for guidance.
What’s the shelf life of this volumetric solution?
When stored properly, this solution maintains its stated normality for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiration date on the label.
