Application

AX0115P-1 and AX0115P-6 are packaged in poly-coated glass bottles.
Acetone′s luminesence intensity is dependent upon the solution components . The absorption of UV light by acetone, results in its photolysis and the production of radials .
HPLC, Meets ACS Specifications, Meets Reagent Specifications for testing USP/NF monograph. Acetone can be used :
  • as a modifier solvent in the separation of triacylglycerols from vegetable oils by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).
  • as a solvent for extracting VOCs from biological and environmental samples prior to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis.

Packaging
