Glycerol ACS is a clear, scentless, and thick liquid at room temperature. It is a liquid that does not easily evaporate and has a pleasant flavor. It can readily mix with alcohol and water but does not dissolve in certain common organic solvents. It naturally attracts moisture and has a high boiling point under normal conditions. This alcohol is created through the breakdown of triglycerides or is a secondary product in the production of soap and biodiesel. Its chemical composition is C3H8O3. It is also referred to as glycerin and glycerine. Glycerin ACS is extensively utilized in both industrial and laboratory settings.

ChemieR offers a comprehensive range of ACS grade and ISO 9001:2015 certified products, including high-purity solvents, inorganic reagents, acids, bases, and organic reagents. Our high-quality materials ensure your laboratory achieves precise, reproducible results every time. Rely on ChemieR for trusted, premium-grade chemicals that meet the highest industry standards.

Application :

  • Glycerol ACS is used both in sample preparation and gel formation for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 
  • As glycerine is having antimicrobial and antiviral properties it is widely in use in wound and burn treatments.
  • It is also used to aid in casting gradient gels and as a protein stabilizer and storage buffer component.
  • it is used as a moisturizer in soaps and lotions because it can easily absorbs water.
  • It may also be found in inks and adhesives. It plays an important role in the manufacture of plastics and resins.

Key features :

  • High quality and purity product which met the toughest standard of the American Chemical Society (ACS)
  • Low freezing temperature
  • Easy and safe handling
