Acetone for UV is a high-purity, low-absorbance solvent designed for ultraviolet (UV) and spectrophotometric applications in pharmaceutical and analytical laboratories, providing a clear medium for accurate optical measurements.
🏭⚗️ Production
Acetone for UV is purified to remove water, peroxides, and UV-absorbing impurities, then packaged under inert, moisture-controlled conditions to maintain chemical stability and optical clarity.
🔬 Properties
Acetone is a clear, colorless, highly volatile liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. It is miscible with water and many organic solvents, has a boiling point of ~56 °C, and exhibits minimal UV absorbance above 330 nm, making it suitable for UV–Vis spectroscopy of polar and non-polar compounds.
🧪 Applications
Used as a solvent for calibration standards, reference solutions, and assay samples, Acetone dissolves a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds and excipients. It is ideal for UV–Vis measurements, solubility studies, and analytical method development where high optical purity is required.
⚠️ Safety
Acetone is highly flammable and may cause irritation if inhaled or in contact with skin. Handle in a well-ventilated area or fume hood with gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Store in tightly sealed containers, away from heat and ignition sources, and dispose of waste according to laboratory safety protocols.
