L-Ascorbic Acid (+) ACS Reagent Grade

The L-Ascorbic Acid (+) ACS Reagent Grade is an organic compound used as a reducing agent and antioxidant in laboratory procedures, chemical analyses, and biochemical assays. Commonly known as vitamin C, it is highly soluble in water and employed in analytical solution preparation, neutralization of oxidizing agents, and reactions requiring oxidation control. The ACS reagent grade ensures suitable purity for laboratory use. Aqueous solutions show limited stability and should be prepared immediately prior to use.
