Acetic Acid 2%

Description

Solvent for peptide research and laboratory applications

Product overview

Acetic Acid 2% is a dilute aqueous solution of acetic acid, commonly used in research settings to facilitate the dissolution of certain peptides and compounds that exhibit poor solubility in neutral aqueous environments. Its mildly acidic pH can assist in breaking peptide aggregation and improving reconstitution efficiency during laboratory handling.

Key benefits (anecdotal & research-based)

• Improves solubility of peptides that are difficult to dissolve in water alone.
• Helps disrupt aggregation in lyophilized peptide preparations.
• Commonly used as a pre-dissolution step before dilution with bacteriostatic water or PBS.
• Provides controlled acidic conditions suitable for specific research protocols.

Product characteristics

• Purity: laboratory grade aqueous solution
• Appearance: clear, colorless liquid
• Composition: 2% acetic acid in water
• Molecular formula (acetic acid): C₂H₄O₂
• Molecular weight (acetic acid): ~60.05 g/mol
• pH: acidic (typically ~2.4–2.6 depending on preparation)
• Storage: store at controlled room temperature (20–25°C), tightly sealed

Why choose our Acetic Acid 2%

• Precisely diluted 2% solution for consistent research use.
• Suitable for peptide pre-dissolution and solubility enhancement workflows.
• Produced and handled under controlled conditions for reliability.
• Compatible with standard laboratory reconstitution protocols.

Suggested use

• Application: used in peptide research for initial dissolution of compounds with low aqueous solubility.
• Typical research practice: dissolve peptide in a small volume of Acetic Acid 2%, then dilute further with bacteriostatic water or buffer solution as required.
• Handling note: use minimal effective volume to avoid excessive acidity in final solution.
