Labbox Acetone Pesticide Grade PGR
This highly pure and versatile acetone is characterised by its pesticide-grade quality, making it ideal for demanding laboratory applications. It impresses with its extremely low residue formation, enabling precise and reproducible results to be achieved in sensitive analyses. This is an excellent alternative to conventional acetone products on the market for anyone looking for a reliable solution for quantitatively accurate analyses, for example in pharmaceutical or environmental analysis.
Versatile properties for professional use
This solvent has a range of powerful features that are essential for laboratory professionals. Thanks to its rapid evaporation and very good solubility, it enables various substances such as resins, waxes, fats or organic compounds to be dissolved and processed in a short time. In addition, its high purity is particularly useful for residue analyses, where minimal impurities can lead to large measurement deviations. As it is a category 3 precursor substance for pharmaceuticals and explosives, specific regulations must be observed when purchasing and handling it.
Core technical characteristics
- Molecular weight: 58.08 g/mol (enables rapid vaporisation and precise reactivity)
- CAS number: 67-64-1 (internationally recognised identifier)
- Flash point class: Flam. Liq. 2 (H225) (clear classification as highly flammable)
- Labelling: GHS02, GHS07, GHS08 (underlines flammability and health hazards)
- Transport: UN 1090, IMDG: 3 II, ADR: 3 II (D/E), IATA: 3 II (for safe transport)
- EC-Index: 606-001-00-8 (unique EU identification)
- Classification: STOT SE 3 (H336) (Specific target organ toxicity; requires special care)
Apart from these key parameters, acetone scores points for its extremely low residue formation. This makes it an excellent choice in analytical environments, as measured values are not falsified and precisely reproducible results can be achieved. At the same time, this purity means an increased need for safety, which is why users should ensure adequate ventilation and the use of chemical-resistant protective equipment.
Compliance with relevant directives
For professional laboratory use, compliance with current safety and quality standards such as DIN or EN standards is an essential part of the workflow. The GHS02, GHS07 and GHS08 labelling quickly communicates that the product is flammable and hazardous to health. In particular, the classification as Flam. Liq. 2 (H225) clearly shows that even small ignition sources must be avoided. In addition, in many European countries, dangerous goods and chemicals legislation applies, which provides for further protective measures and documentation requirements depending on the region-specific regulations.
Examples of use in laboratory practice
- Residue analysis of pesticides in food: Thanks to the pesticide-grade quality, sensitive trace analyses can be carried out for fruit and vegetables.
- Preparation of samples for chromatographic methods: Ideal for the dissolution and purification of substances such as phthalates or other organic substances.
- Syntheses in organic chemistry: Whether for extractions or the concentration of dissolved intermediates, the solvent is highly valued in synthesis laboratories.
- Pharmaceutical quality assurance: Ensures reliable test results, for example when analysing the purity of active ingredients
FAQs
How do I store this acetone safely?
Always close containers tightly and store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Due to its high flammability, do not store near naked flames or sources of sparks.
What protective equipment is required
Recommended are safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves and suitable respiratory protection. This minimises the risk of skin contact and inhalation of potentially hazardous vapours.
Is this acetone also suitable for HPLC applications?
The very high purity makes it suitable for use in various chromatographic processes. However, it is advisable to check exact specifications before use to ensure that all requirements are met.
What needs to be considered when diluting
If the solvent is mixed with water or other substances, for example, the individual properties and reactions of the target substances must be taken into account. If the concentration is too low, this can affect the measurement accuracy or vaporisation rate.
Conclusion
Labbox Acetone Pesticide Grade PGR offers a reliable solution for laboratories where high purity and precision are a top priority. Thanks to its pesticide-grade quality, it impresses with low residues and powerful solubility for a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. Users benefit from clear safety labelling, rapid evaporation and clear standards that enable safe transport and reliable use. This makes it an indispensable solvent for analytical and synthetic processes that require accuracy and safety compliance.
