Note

Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does AR mean?

AR is a defined analytical purity tier suitable for general analytical and reagent applications. It specifies a minimum assay percentage, controlled limits on common impurities (water, heavy metals, residue on ignition), and lot-to-lot consistency. AR is one of several purity tiers — choose based on the sensitivity and regulatory requirements of your method.

How should this product be stored?

Store in a cool place, protected from light, under argon. It is supplied under an argon blanket; reseal under inert gas after each use.

How is this product shipped?

This product ships under standard ambient conditions. No temperature-controlled packaging is required.

What are the CAS number, molecular formula and molecular weight?

The CAS Number is 90-44-8, the molecular formula is C14H10O, and the molecular weight is 194.23 g/mol. InChIKey RJGDLRCDCYRQOQ-UHFFFAOYSA-N.
