Frequent Uses

Chromatography

Acetone is used as a solvent or component of the mobile phase in Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) and other chromatographic methods for separating compounds.

Cleaning and Degreasing

Effectively cleans laboratory glassware and equipment by dissolving grease, oil, adhesives, and contaminants, leaving no residue due to its quick evaporation.

Drying Agent

It efficiently removes moisture from laboratory surfaces, glassware, and samples due to its hygroscopic properties and rapid evaporation.

Sample Preparation

Used to dissolve or dilute samples for analysis in chromatography, spectroscopy, or similar techniques and to concentrate samples post-dilution.

Solvent for Reactions

It serves as a polar aprotic solvent, enabling organic reactions like nucleophilic substitution, Grignard reactions, and condensation processes.
