High-Purity Laboratory Chemicals and Analytical Reagents

You know how critical it is to have reliable chemicals on hand when you're running experiments or quality checks. Our chemical inventory covers everything from basic acids and bases to specialized analytical standards, all meeting the purity grades you'd expect for serious lab work.

Purity matters when you're dealing with sensitive analyses. We stock ACS-grade, reagent-grade, and analytical-quality chemicals that come with batch-specific certificates of analysis, so you'll know exactly what you're working with. Each shipment includes complete SDS documentation because nobody wants surprises when handling concentrated materials.

Grade Classifications and Purity Certifications

• ACS Grade: Meets American Chemical Society specifications—your go-to for quantitative analysis and research applications where reproducibility is non-negotiable
• Reagent Grade: High purity for general laboratory use, perfect for routine testing and synthesis work
• HPLC/Spectroscopy Grade: Ultra-low UV absorbance and minimal particulates, essential when you're running chromatography or spectroscopic analyses
• Biotechnology Grade: Tested for endotoxins and nucleases, critical for molecular biology and cell culture protocols
• NIST-Traceable Standards: Reference materials for method validation and regulatory compliance in pharmaceutical or environmental testing

When you're setting up chromatography runs, having the right solvent grade makes all the difference. I've seen too many failed separations traced back to impure mobile phases that contaminated expensive columns.

Proper Handling and Storage Requirements

Concentrated acids and bases need appropriate Bottles, jars and packaging that won't degrade over time. We ship corrosives in chemically-resistant containers with secondary containment—your safety cabinet will thank you.

• Temperature-sensitive reagents: Store according to label specs, typically 2-8°C for biological buffers and some organic compounds
• Light-sensitive materials: Amber glass containers prevent photodegradation of indicators, stains, and certain solvents
• Hygroscopic chemicals: Keep desiccated in sealed containers with fresh desiccant packs
• Volatile solvents: Use proper ventilation and compatible Laboratory glassware with ground-glass joints to minimize evaporation

Pro tip: Always check expiration dates on standardized solutions. Even sealed containers can drift over time, especially for redox-sensitive compounds like permanganate or iodine solutions.

Application-Specific Chemical Selection

Acids and bases: From concentrated sulfuric to glacial acetic, we stock what you need for pH adjustment, digestion, and neutralization. These work seamlessly with volumetric Flasks and burettes from our laboratory Equipment line.

Organic solvents: High-purity options for extraction, recrystallization, and chromatography work—methanol, acetonitrile, hexane, and dichloromethane in grades matching your analytical requirements.

Indicators and stains: Pre-measured or bulk quantities depending on your throughput, from phenolphthalein to methylene blue.

Buffer solutions: Ready-to-use or concentrate formulations for pH control in biological assays and analytical methods. Pre-made standards save you prep time, especially when you're running titrations or calibrating instruments.
