Product Description

Detailed information about the product

Product Overview

Acetone 99.9% GC (CAS No. 67-64-1) is a high-purity gas chromatography grade solvent specifically intended for analytical procedures involving Gas Chromatography (GC). It is a clear, colourless, highly volatile liquid belonging to the ketone family and is completely miscible with water and a wide variety of organic solvents. Its excellent solvent characteristics, high volatility, and consistent chemical quality make it well suited for chromatographic laboratories where dependable analytical performance is essential.

The GC Grade is manufactured for laboratories performing routine and advanced gas chromatographic analyses requiring high-quality solvents with consistent batch-to-batch performance. It is widely employed in pharmaceutical, environmental, petrochemical, food, chemical, and research laboratories where gas chromatography serves as a primary analytical technique. The combination of high solvent purity and reliable analytical suitability makes GC Grade acetone an important reagent for modern instrumental analysis and laboratory research.
