Acetic acid SH HPLC grade is a high-purity, water-miscible carboxylic acid essential for analytical chromatography, pharmaceutical testing, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) applications. It ensures accurate, reproducible results in lab settings where trace impurities could skew analyses. Beyond chromatography, acetic acid serves as a laboratory solvent and acidifying agent and is used in textile dyeing and finishing, leather deliming and photographic fixing baths. This product has a CAS number of 64-19-7, molecular formula CH₃CO₂H, and a molecular weight of 60.05 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions and carries a **Danger** signal word due to its corrosive and harmful properties. Molekula supplies Acetic acid SH HPLC grade from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
