Citric Acid Monohydrate, ACS Grade
Manufacturer: VWR International
Description
Features:
- Stringently tested for trace impurities such as heavy metals, phosphates, and oxalates to ensure zero interference in sensitive analytical assays
- A primary component for the preparation of citrate buffers (pH 3.0 to 6.2), widely used in biochemistry and molecular biology
- Effectively binds multivalent metal ions (like calcium and iron), making it useful in preventing precipitation in various chemical solutions
- Dissolves rapidly in water and alcohol, facilitating the quick preparation of concentrated stock solutions
Safety & Handling Information:
- WARNING! Irritant: Citric acid is a strong eye irritant and can cause skin and respiratory irritation upon contact or inhalation
- NFPA Ratings: Health: 2, Flammability: 1, Reactivity: 0
- Personal Protection: Wear safety goggles and gloves. If handling large quantities, use a dust mask to avoid inhaling crystalline powder
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the poly bottle is tightly sealed to prevent the material from absorbing atmospheric moisture (caking)
