LabChem® Nitric Acid 20% V/V

LabChem® NITRIC ACID 20% V/V is a volumetric dilution of concentrated nitric acid prepared to a nominal strength of 20% by volume. It is manufactured by diluting reagent-grade nitric acid with water to a consistent, verified concentration, saving the time and hazard of diluting concentrated acid on the bench. Ready-to-use dilutions of this type reduce variability compared to in-house preparation from concentrated stock.

This dilution is commonly used for sample acidification and preservation ahead of metals analysis, as well as general acid-base reactions. Working with a pre-diluted acid also reduces the handling risk associated with concentrated nitric acid. This reagent should be handled, stored, and used according to established laboratory safety procedures and the manufacturer's instructions.
