Acetone Lab Grade


 Key Points

  1. Purity: Lab-grade acetone typically has high purity levels, often 99.5% or higher.
  2. Volatility: Acetone is a highly volatile solvent with a low boiling point (56°C), making it useful for rapid evaporation and drying applications.
  3. Solvent Properties: Acetone is a polar, aprotic solvent capable of dissolving a wide range of organic compounds, which makes it highly versatile in the lab.
  4. Storage Conditions: Typically stored in tightly sealed containers to prevent evaporation and contamination, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Uses of Acetone in Laboratories 

  1. Solvent: Widely used as a solvent for cleaning and degreasing lab equipment, glassware, and surfaces due to its effectiveness in dissolving oils, fats, and resins.
  2. Reagent: Utilized in various chemical reactions, including organic synthesis and polymerization processes, as a reagent and reaction medium.
  3. Sample Preparation: Used in sample preparation for chromatography and spectroscopy by dissolving or extracting compounds from mixtures.
  4. Tissue Fixation: Employed in histology and cytology for tissue fixation and preservation, as well as for preparing slides for microscopic examination.
  5. Drying Agent: Its rapid evaporation rate makes it ideal for drying laboratory equipment and removing water from samples and surfaces.
  6. Cleaning: Used to clean lab instruments, particularly those contaminated with organic residues, ensuring accurate and uncontaminated experimental results.

Precautions When Using Acetone in Laboratories


  1. Flammability: Acetone is highly flammable. Keep it away from open flames, sparks, and sources of heat. Use in well-ventilated areas and store in flame-proof cabinets.
  2. Health Hazards: Acetone can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Prolonged exposure can lead to dizziness, headache, and central nervous system effects. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats.
  3. Proper Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation when using acetone to avoid inhaling fumes, which can cause respiratory issues and dizziness.
  4. Spill Management: Be prepared to manage spills by having appropriate spill kits and materials (such as absorbent pads and inert materials) readily available. Clean up spills immediately to prevent accidents.
  5. Labeling and Storage: Clearly label containers with the contents and hazards. Store acetone in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances such as oxidizing agents.
  6. Disposal: Dispose of acetone waste according to local regulations and guidelines. Do not pour it down the drain; use designated hazardous waste disposal methods.
