Product Overview

This BAKER ANALYZED™ ACS reagent-grade zinc in granular form (30 mesh) delivers exceptional purity and consistency for demanding laboratory applications. The 99.9% pure zinc granules are meticulously processed to meet American Chemical Society (ACS) specifications, ensuring reliable performance in quantitative analysis and chemical reactions. The uniform 30 mesh particle size provides optimal surface area for efficient reaction kinetics while maintaining easy handling characteristics. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to verify compliance with ACS standards for heavy metals and other impurities. The granules maintain excellent stability under standard laboratory conditions, with minimal oxidation when stored properly. This high-purity zinc serves as an essential reagent for various analytical procedures where precise stoichiometry is critical. The product comes in a 500g pack size, offering sufficient quantity for multiple experiments while maintaining freshness through proper packaging. The granules’ consistent quality makes them particularly suitable for applications requiring reproducible results and minimal batch-to-batch variation.

FAQs

1. What is the typical shelf life of these zinc granules when stored properly?

When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed container, these ACS-grade zinc granules typically maintain their specified purity for 2-3 years from the date of manufacture. The low moisture content and protective packaging help prevent oxidation during storage.

2. Are these zinc granules compatible with standard laboratory glassware?

Yes, these zinc granules are fully compatible with borosilicate glass and most common laboratory glassware. The granules won’t react with or damage standard glass containers under normal laboratory conditions and temperature ranges.

3. What alternatives exist for applications requiring finer zinc particles?

For applications needing finer particle sizes, zinc powder (typically 100-325 mesh) would be the most direct alternative. The powder form offers increased surface area for faster reaction rates but may require different handling procedures due to its dust potential.

4. How should these granules be handled to prevent contamination?

Use clean, dry laboratory tools when measuring or transferring the granules. Store the container tightly sealed when not in use and avoid exposure to moisture or acidic vapors. For critical applications, consider pre-drying the granules at 100°C for 1 hour before use.

5. What certification documentation is available for these ACS-grade zinc granules?

Each batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis that verifies compliance with ACS specifications, including assays for zinc content and limits for heavy metal impurities. The documentation also includes batch-specific test results for particle size distribution and moisture content.
