Specifications, Grading and Purity

ACS Spectrophotometric Grade (≥99.9%)

Ultra-High Purity for Precise UV-Vis and Spectroscopic Analysis


ACS Spectrophotometric Grade reagents are specially manufactured to meet both the American Chemical Society (ACS) specifications and stringent optical transparency standards required for UV-Visible spectrophotometry and other high-precision spectroscopic applications. With a typical purity of ≥99.9%, this grade ensures minimal absorbancestable baselines, and reliable reproducibility in quantitative and qualitative analysis.


Key Features

· ≥99.9% Chemical Purity
Meets or exceeds ACS reagent specifications for general analytical use, with trace impurities rigorously controlled.

· Low UV Absorbance at Critical Wavelengths
Carefully purified to ensure optical clarity at 190–700 nm, making it suitable for UV-Vis, IR, and fluorescence spectrophotometry.

· Lot-to-Lot Consistency
Every batch is tested for both chemical purity and spectral quality to deliver reproducible analytical results.

· Certified Performance
Supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming UV absorbance limits, purity, and spectral transmission data.


Typical Applications

· UV-Vis and IR spectroscopic measurements

· Trace impurity detection

· Standard preparation for photometric assays

· Reference solutions and calibration standards

· Quality control (QC) and method validation in regulated environments


Available Formats

· 100 mL, 500 mL, 1L amber glass bottles

· Custom volumes and ampouled packaging available upon request


Why Choose ACS Spectrophotometric Grade?

· Assures accurate photometric readings with minimal spectral background

· Complies with ACS purity guidelines and spectral standards

· Ideal for analytical labsresearch institutions, and QA/QC departments requiring trace-level optical accuracy
