Potassium Sodium Tartrate, Crystal, Reagent, ACS
Enhance your laboratory's capabilities with our high-purity Potassium Sodium Tartrate, Tetrahydrate, Crystal, Reagent, ACS. This double salt is renowned for its deliquescent properties, which means it readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. Due to this characteristic, it is essential to store it in a dry environment to ensure its integrity and efficacy.
Historically, Potassium Sodium Tartrate has been utilized for its medicinal properties as a laxative. It also plays a critical role in various industrial applications, including the silvering of mirrors. Furthermore, this reagent is a key component in Fehling's solution and Nylander's test, both of which were vital in the analysis of reducing sugars in solution.
In the realm of organic synthesis, Potassium Sodium Tartrate is invaluable for aqueous workups, especially in the breakdown of emulsions resulting from reactions involving aluminum-based hydride reagents.
Manufactured with strict adherence to ACS grade standards, our Potassium Sodium Tartrate ensures unparalleled quality and purity, making it suitable for high-demand applications in laboratories. The specifications are meticulously tailored to meet the most rigorous regulatory standards for chemical usage.
